Shortcut keys

reidkersey
reidkersey over 13 years ago

I would like to be able to assign shortcut keys to single letters, like 'm' for move or 'i' for info, when an item is selected.

 

I would also like to be able to assign the 'del' key to a function (like delete).

    Then how would you enter commands?  Unqualified letters must remain

    available to the command line.  However, you can still get what you want

    with CTRL held down, which is no big deal.  For truly single key commands,

    use the function keys.  For additional letter commands, use CTRL+letter.

    We arent exaclty living in the 20th century. Most programs are GUI based, and you shouldnt have to need to enter commands, and in all reality I have never needed to enter one in eagle.

     

    Also, remember that YOU assign the shortcuts, so if you dont want commands, you dont need to have them.
