rlackore Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Use Copy/Paste with Point to Point Move. If you set up hot keys it's pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Center and Reflect about also work that way-definitely hotkeys are the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use up to 3 keys per. If using multiple keys don't use a single key that is also used in multiple combination. I use a two key form, the only singles I use are numbers.

Attached zip with my current hotkeys. They are always evolving so I keep a spreadsheet with the current list (also included). I have a Windows keyboard shortcut to that sheet for the times I forget. I haven't updated the second two sheets in a while so don't count on them, left them for reference, the first sheet should be accurate. I used the other two sheets when I first set the keys up to help and printed the color one out for reference. I'm right handed and try to set the most common keys to be one handed with left hand and to keep things in some grouping I could remember. I now use two keyboards, one in front one on left, which has allowed me to begin to add some other one handed combos that I avoided (work in progress). You can either use this for reference or give it a try but everyone's brain works differently. I think there are few sets of hotkeys in either tips or symbols section. I'd suggest that before setting up new keys you export the default OOB keys. Then every now and then export your own keys just in case you need them on a another machine of for migration or disasters. Mk_hotkey.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para-CAD Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hotkeys are great. Stream Deck makes them even better. Dark mode icons here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hpsir2s1we9iryy/AAC64FOVqGFHY72VK4MQXpPUa?dl=0 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
