Keyboard shortcuts
Which keys do something, and where. Short, because there are not many.
Everywhere
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
Cmd + S / Ctrl + S | Save now. Without this key your browser would open its own "save page" dialog, which feels like a bug in a web app. |
Escape | Closes 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. |
Tab | To the next field. In the parts list this walks you from name to length to width to quantity. |
Enter | In the part form: add the part. In a dialog: the main button. |
In the cabinet designer
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
Cmd + Z / Ctrl + Z | Undo |
Cmd + Shift + Z / Ctrl + Shift + Z | Redo |
Ctrl + Y | Also Redo, the Windows habit. |
Escape | Closes 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
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
← / → | Previous cut and Next cut. |
Home / End | To the first or the last cut. |
Escape | Exit 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.
| Key | What 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. |
0 | Fit: zoom and shift back, everything in view. |
Home | Sets the cabinet straight (rotation back to zero). |
Escape | Releases the chosen panel. |
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.
