Keyboard shortcuts

Which keys do something, and where. Short, because there are not many.

Everywhere

KeyWhat it does
Cmd + S / Ctrl + SSave now. Without this key your browser would open its own "save page" dialog, which feels like a bug in a web app.
EscapeCloses whatever is open, one layer at a time: first an explanation bubble, then a menu, then a window. So one press never loses your whole place.
TabTo the next field. In the parts list this walks you from name to length to width to quantity.
EnterIn the part form: add the part. In a dialog: the main button.

In the cabinet designer

KeyWhat it does
Cmd + Z / Ctrl + ZUndo
Cmd + Shift + Z / Ctrl + Shift + ZRedo
Ctrl + YAlso Redo, the Windows habit.
EscapeCloses the column of the chosen divider, shelf, door or drawer, just like the cross.
Note Undo and redo with the keys work only in the cabinet designer. In the cutting plan you use the ↶ Undo and Back to automatic buttons above the drawing. See Manual editing.

In fullscreen

KeyWhat it does
← / →Previous cut and Next cut.
Home / EndTo the first or the last cut.
EscapeExit fullscreen

In the 3D view of the cabinet

These keys work once the 3D view has focus: click or tap it once, or reach it with Tab.

KeyWhat it does
← / →Turns the cabinet 15 degrees on its axis.
↑ / ↓Pulls the cabinet 10 % further apart or back together (the Explode amount slider).
+ / -Zoom in and Zoom out, a quarter per press, up to four times.

With the mouse: Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) plus the scroll wheel zooms towards the pointer, dragging turns (sideways) and tilts (up and down), dragging with Shift moves the view, double-click fits. See The cabinet in 3D.
