Onshape keyboard shortcuts get a huge enhancement Everyone (every feature) gets a shortcut!

This was really helpful. Seeing how a pro actually uses the tools gives awesome insight, going to set up my view keys as you have and give it a go. Thanks!

It's still early days and I'm converging in on my favorite shortcut setup. I'll be sure to share what I come up with! For now Shift-1 to Shift-4 have new duties: Zebras, Perspective on/off, Translucent, Shade with edges. On my Macbook Pro these are easily accessibly to me without too much effort. For those interested, I also use Shift-Q for high quality mode, Tab for iso view, Option-X for measure tools. e is now Edit curve, and b is bridging curve. The next most import is s for the shortcut toolbar where I have heavily used features plus a handful of my custom features. That's the main stuff. I don't really use keyboard shortcuts for features like extrude, loft - I tend to use the iconsof rthat stuff. It is the in between things (graphics) that really speed me up.

Is there a keyboard shortcut option for opening up keyboard shortcuts? I found this extremely useful with SW to get everything dialed in how I like it, but it would be even better in OS if I could bring the same shortcuts to all my work stations.

Once you have your shortcuts saved in your user preferences, they will follow you to wherever you login... Even onto a borrowed one, or in a cyber cafe (do they still exist?) The preferences are not stored as registry keys, or downloadable plugins.

@@gregbrown-onshape7555 I understand. It would be helpful for me if there was an option to setup bringing your preferences up using a keyboard shortcut. Right now that is not possible in OS and it seems like a simple fix. I just turned my zebra stripes on Z and it is great. Thanks!

@@5Lax you can just leave your user preferences open in a separate browser tab! Then you can use tab shortcuts to swap to it or just have it up on a separate monitor
