list of keyboard shortcuts
After several month of using this great sw I still keep discovering new keyboard shortcuts and was not able to find complete list.

Was I not searching enough or is anyone willing to make one?
Thank you

Re: list of keyboard shortcuts
The drop-down menus show the keyboard shortcuts.

To make things even easier for you, I prepared a sheet with all these shortcuts.

You can find them below as XLS spreadsheet and as PDF document.

Very useful - thanks! It really strikes you how well assembled SH3D is. Whenever I wish for something, it so often is there already. ok

Re: list of keyboard shortcuts
Thank you hansmex. The one in the menus are easy to discover, I should maybe have asked for keyboard control rather than shortcuts and I meant these:

- holding ALT while placing anything turns off magnetism
- holding CTRL before selecting item and moving it duplicates the item
- holding SHIFT after selecting item allows more precise movement
- clicking ENTER before placing item allows entering exact coordinates
- doubleclicking edge of wall while create-dimensions-mode is selected creates the dimension with nice preview
- you can pan your plan even if not in panning mode if you hold SPACE

Re: list of keyboard shortcuts
And CTRL when clicking end-of-wall to create an angle, and ENTER to enter numeric values. And of course, the little annoyance of different conventions for MAC, Win and Linux... A compilation would be brilliant. But lesson leant is that spending some time exploring the short-cuts, is time well spent.ok

Re: list of keyboard shortcuts
Thanks, did not know about this CTRL hack. It creates arc, not angle.

Re: list of keyboard shortcuts

.. arc, not angle.

Oops, of course. And another couple of useful features that took me some time to find:
Shift to accelerate moves with mouse, arrows, etc
Shift to rotate by single degrees with green arrows when importing objects. ok

Hi all,
About shortcuts, please note this new article in the blog with the full list of shortcuts. Available also in French. Hope it will help.
