Keyboard shortcuts and the command line

The command line

Type a command and press Enter: the tool arms immediately. English names and the AutoCAD short codes both work. The up arrow recalls your previous commands.

One-key tool shortcuts

With the drawing area focused, a single key arms a tool:

Key	Tool	Key	Tool
W	Wall	M	Move
D	Door	C	Copy
G	Window	X	Trim
R	Room	O	Offset
B	Rectangle	H	Dimension
P	Polyline	T	Text
A	Arc	L	Move label

Command aliases (AutoCAD style)

Command	Codes	Command	Codes
line	l	move	m
polyline	pl	copy	co, cp
rectangle	rec	rotate	ro
circle	c	mirror	mi
arc	a	scale	sc
ellipse	el	align	al
spline	spl	trim	tr
hatch	h	extend	ex
text	t	break	br
leader	le	offset	o
measure	di	undo	u
dim		redo
wall, door, window, room, stair, slab, axis		fit, zoom	ze

The same commands exist in French (mur, porte, cercle...), whatever the interface language.

Everywhere keys

Key	Action
F	Zoom extents (fit the drawing)
Escape	Cancel the current tool, clear the selection
Del	Delete the selection
Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y	Undo / Redo
S / Shift+S	Flip the hinge / swing side of the selected doors
Shift+drag	Pan the view
Ctrl+click	Add or remove one object from the selection

The snap toggles (END, MID, GRID, ORTHO, Cloud) and the wall Justify control sit in the status bar, one click away.
