The EAGLE DRC window DOES have shortcuts, but unfortunately, they are

NOT shown by default - at least on Windows machines (this is a problem

of Windows' rubbish defaults, though, and NOT of CadSoft):

 

While having the DRC window open under Windows, press the ALT key:

Some characters from the button texts should now get underlined.

Those are

the ones that you can use in conjunction with the ALT key to 'press'

that button. Why Microsoft threw the underlining away will forever be

a mystery to me. You can activate it again in Windows 7 somewhere in

the Windows control panel: Control Panel / Ease of Access Center /

Make the Keyboard easier to use (or something like that).

 

E.g., on a German installation, the shortcuts include ALT+B for

approving ('billigen'). I suspect that English shortcuts would be

different.

PS: The Linux machines I've seen ALWAYS show the underlining, so

everything is MUCH easier to see...

Thanks for the tip Andreas.

Centered    ALT+C

Clear All    ALT+E

Processed     ALT+P

Approve    ALT+A

The path to change the setting in WIN2000

Control Panel / Display / Effects / Hide keyboard navigation indicators

until I use the alt key

Hi

 

When Eagle has produced the list of DRC errors, then I often find

myself clicking through a long list of errors.

 

Are there some keyboards short-cuts for processing and/or approving

DRC Errors?

 

This would make the DRC error list faster to go through.

Web access to CadSoft support forums at www.eaglecentral.ca.  Where

the CadSoft EAGLE community meets.

I find the following technique the most efficient:

Having clicked on the first error,

Left hand uses the  up and down arrows on the keyboard.

Right hand on the mouse positioned over the "Approve" button.
