Tool settings Shortcut problem ...

Post by Husky » Sun Nov 16, 2014 8:08 am

XP / 3.7.1

Hi,

I like to customize my Tool Shortcuts a bit (Application Preferences/Tool Settings) but it doesn't works as expected.

1.
If I try to use a Shortcut combination like Ctrl+Tab QCAD does not accept the Ctrl Key. Is that just my system or is that in general the case?

2.
For the Tool "Restrict Orthogonally" I supplemented the "Tab" Key to trigger the function - works perfect!
For the Tool "Restriction Off" I supplemented the "Shift+Backtab" combination - doesn't woks at all. What I'm doing wrong?

I don't know why - but now it's working. Thanks Clive!

I used also the Keyboard Arrow Keys for the vertically and the horizontally restriction - works great! :wink:
