Most of them are easy to remember, the first letter of the tool name is the shortcut most of the time, except for Rotate. This is a view of the draw menu with the shortcuts listed as capital letters after the tool names. You can also find the shortcuts on the menus. Just click on the command to highlight it, then type the shortcut you want to add in the “Add Shortcut” area in the upper right and hit the plus sign. There is a pane in the System Preferences Window that lists all of the commands in SketchUp, and it shows you the assigned shortcut if that command has one. You can find the shortcuts in a couple of places. Nine shortcuts will let you do almost everything you need to do. A single letter will bring up the most commonly used tools, and there aren’t that many to learn. One of the keys to efficient work is to use keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking on the tool icons. But when you’re hard at work on a model, moving the mouse to the toolbar and back again takes more time than you might think. The tools on the toolbar are easy to figure out, and if you hover the cursor over one of the icons a tag will appear that tells you what the tool does. That plus the fact that macOS uses Cmd chords for its shortcuts is why you can’t create a user-defined shortcut that uses the Cmd key on Mac. One of the quirks of SketchUp is that the obvious way of doing something isn’t necessarily the best way. On Mac, default shortcuts that are wired-in to the menu system use Cmd key chords and can’t be removed, though for many of them you can also set a user-defined alternative. The alt, shift, ctrl are easier to reach, yes, you are right there.For efficient work in SketchUp, you should use keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking on the icons in the toolbars, at least for the most often used commands. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 for the “two key” shortcut though: because that slows down massively IMHO. It doesn’t harm you or anyone to follow his suggestion, hence +1, but helps millions here. Window - Ruby Console - Paste this: puts Sketchup::get_shortcutsįurther, allow me to +1 suggestion: “Why couldn’t you show them in the instructor, or better yet, right next to the tool button?”īecause, while learning is all easy for academics I trust, your phone and every other device still has helpful reminders (numbers, even letters) on each key. Which is (for those too lazy to read through the post to find it: The one I have is from various authors and is as follows:īefore I go all crazy and assign other tools to specific keys I was curious if there was an extended list of Ke… Is there a complete list of the Keyboard Shortcuts that a defined by Default?
