Context

This page is aiming at refactoring the keyboard shortcuts in FreeCAD. Indeed at the moment, several problems exist such as overlapping, lack of consistency, ... When work is over, this page can be mutated so it serves as a keyboard shortcuts overview.

Discussion in the forum

Timeline

Proposed activities are (more or less in chronological order) :

  • List all available commands by workbench
  • Define global guidelines
  • Define new shortcuts to commands (following guidelines)
  • Implement in the code

Global guidelines

Proposed guidelines :

  • Use standard shortcuts for standard commands across software (New, Open, Save, Undo/Redo, ...)
  • Shortcuts using 'Ctrl' key should be reserved for global commands
  • Function keys (F1 to F12) should be reserved for global commands
  • Shortcuts using 'Shift' key could be used to indicate an opposite/complementary action (to the one without 'Shift')
  • Shortcuts using 'Alt' key should be avoided (it is used to access menus, and 'Ctrl+Alt' or 'Shift+Alt' are often system shortcuts)
  • Shortcuts using only alpha key (single or combo -- without modifier) should be reserved to workbench local commands
  • Shortcuts using only num key (without modifier) should be avoided (to prevent unwanted actions)
  • Shortcuts using system keys ('PrntScr', 'Pause', ...) should be avoided
  • Most used commands should have a shortcut. Not all commands have to have a shotcut.

List of commands

Draft Workbench

Command Description Shortcut Comment
Draft_AddConstruction Adds the selected objects to the construction group, and changes their appearance to the construction style. It creates a construction group if it doesn't exist.
Draft_AddToGroup Moves the selected objects to an existing group, or removes them from any group. Create a group first to use this tool.
Draft_AnnotationStyleEditor Manage or create annotation styles
Draft_ApplyStyle Applies the current style defined in the toolbar (line width and colors) to the selected objects and groups.
Draft_Arc Creates a circular arc by a center point and a radius. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. A, R
Draft_ArcTools Create various types of circular arcs.
Draft_Arc_3Points Creates a circular arc by picking 3 points. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. A,T
Draft_Array Creates an array from a selected object. By default, it is a 2x2 orthogonal array. Once the array is created its type can be changed to polar or circular, and its properties can be modified.
Draft_ArrayTools Create various types of arrays, including rectangular, polar, circular, path, and point
Draft_AutoGroup Select a group to add all Draft and Arch objects to.
Draft_BSpline Creates a multiple-point B-spline. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. B, S
Draft_BezCurve Creates an N-degree Bezier curve. The more points you pick, the higher the degree. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. B, Z
Draft_BezierTools Create various types of Bezier curves.
Draft_Circle Creates a circle (full circular arc). CTRL to snap, ALT to select tangent objects. C, I
Draft_CircularArray Creates copies of a selected object, and places the copies in a circular pattern. The properties of the array can be further modified after the new object is created, including turning it into a different type of array.
Draft_Clone Creates a clone of the selected objects. The resulting clone can be scaled in each of its three directions. C,L
Draft_CloseLine Closes the line being drawn, and finishes the operation.
Draft_CubicBezCurve Creates a Bezier curve made of 2nd degree (quadratic) and 3rd degree (cubic) segments. Click and drag to define each segment. After the curve is created you can go back to edit each control point and set the properties of each knot. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain.
Draft_Dimension Creates a dimension. Select a straight line to create a linear dimension. Select an arc or circle to create a radius or diameter dimension. Select two straight lines to create an angular dimension between them. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain, ALT to select an edge or arc. D, I
Draft_Downgrade Downgrades the selected objects into simpler shapes. The result of the operation depends on the types of objects, which may be able to be downgraded several times in a row. For example, it explodes the selected polylines into simpler faces, wires, and then edges. It can also subtract faces. D, N
Draft_Draft2Sketch Convert bidirectionally between Draft objects and Sketches. Many Draft objects will be converted into a single non-constrained Sketch. However, a single sketch with disconnected traces will be converted into several individual Draft objects.
Draft_Drawing Creates a 2D projection on a Drawing Workbench page from the selected objects. This command is OBSOLETE since the Drawing Workbench became obsolete in 0.17. Use TechDraw Workbench instead for generating technical drawings.
Draft_Edit Edits the active object. Press E or ALT+LeftClick to display context menu on supported nodes and on supported objects. D, E
Draft_Ellipse Creates an ellipse. CTRL to snap. E, L
Draft_Facebinder Creates a facebinder object from selected faces. F,F
Draft_Fillet Creates a fillet between two wires or edges.
Draft_FinishLine Finishes a line without closing it.
Draft_FlipDimension Flip the normal direction of the selected dimensions (linear, radial, angular). If other objects are selected they are ignored.
Draft_Heal Heal faulty Draft objects saved with an earlier version of the program. If an object is selected it will try to heal that object in particular, otherwise it will try to heal all objects in the active document.
Draft_Join Joins the selected lines or polylines into a single object. The lines must share a common point at the start or at the end for the operation to succeed. J, O
Draft_Label Creates a label, optionally attached to a selected object or element. D, L
Draft_Layer Adds a layer
Draft_Line Creates a 2-point line. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. L,I
Draft_LinkArray Like the Array tool, but creates a 'Link array' instead. A 'Link array' is more efficient when handling many copies but the 'Fuse' option cannot be used.
Draft_Mirror Mirrors the selected objects along a line defined by two points. M, I
Draft_Move Moves the selected objects from one base point to another point. If the "copy" option is active, it will create displaced copies. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. M, V
Draft_Offset Offsets of the selected object. It can also create an offset copy of the original object. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. Hold ALT and click to create a copy with each click. O, S
Draft_OrthoArray Creates copies of a selected object, and places the copies in an orthogonal pattern. The properties of the array can be further modified after the new object is created, including turning it into a different type of array.
Draft_PathArray Creates copies of a selected object along a selected path. First select the object, and then select the path. The path can be a polyline, B-spline or Bezier curve.
Draft_PathLinkArray Like the PathArray tool, but creates a 'Link array' instead. A 'Link array' is more efficient when handling many copies but the 'Fuse' option cannot be used.
Draft_Point Creates a point object. Click anywhere on the 3D view.
Draft_PointArray Creates copies of a selected object at the position of various points. The points need to be grouped under a compound of points before using this tool. To create this compound, select various points and then use the Upgrade tool to create a 'Block'. Select the base object, and then select the compound to create the point array.
Draft_PolarArray Creates copies of a selected object, and places the copies in a polar pattern. The properties of the array can be further modified after the new object is created, including turning it into a different type of array.
Draft_Polygon Creates a regular polygon (triangle, square, pentagon, ...), by defining the number of sides and the circumscribed radius. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain P, G
Draft_Rectangle Creates a 2-point rectangle. CTRL to snap. R, E
Draft_Rotate Rotates the selected objects. Choose the center of rotation, then the initial angle, and then the final angle. If the "copy" option is active, it will create rotated copies. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. Hold ALT and click to create a copy with each click. R, O
Draft_Scale Scales the selected objects from a base point. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain, ALT to copy. S, C
Draft_SelectGroup If the selection is a group, it selects all objects that are inside this group, including those in nested sub-groups. If the selection is a simple object inside a group, it will select the "brother" objects, that is, those that are at the same level as this object, including the upper group that contains them all.
Draft_SelectPlane Select the face of solid body to create a working plane on which to sketch Draft objects. You may also select a three vertices or a Working Plane Proxy. W, P
Draft_Shape2DView Creates a 2D projection of the selected objects on the XY plane. The initial projection direction is the negative of the current active view direction. You can select individual faces to project, or the entire solid, and also include hidden lines. These projections can be used to create technical drawings with the TechDraw Workbench.
Draft_ShapeString Creates a shape from a text string by choosing a specific font and a placement. The closed shapes can be used for extrusions and boolean operations. S, S
Draft_ShowSnapBar Show the snap toolbar if it is hidden.
Draft_Slope Sets the slope of the selected line by changing the value of the Z value of one of its points. If a polyline is selected, it will apply the slope transformation to each of its segments. The slope will always change the Z value, therefore this command only works well for straight Draft lines that are drawn in the XY plane. Selected objects that aren't single lines will be ignored.
Draft_Snap_Angle Set snapping to points in a circular arc located at multiples of 30 and 45 degree angles.
Draft_Snap_Center Set snapping to the center of a circular arc.
Draft_Snap_Dimensions Show temporary linear dimensions when editing an object and using other snapping methods.
Draft_Snap_Endpoint Set snapping to endpoints of an edge.
Draft_Snap_Extension Set snapping to the extension of an edge.
Draft_Snap_Grid Set snapping to the intersection of grid lines.
Draft_Snap_Intersection Set snapping to the intersection of edges.
Draft_Snap_Lock Activates or deactivates all snap methods at once. Shift+S
Draft_Snap_Midpoint Set snapping to the midpoint of an edge.
Draft_Snap_Near Set snapping to the nearest point of an edge.
Draft_Snap_Ortho Set snapping to a direction that is a multiple of 45 degrees from a point.
Draft_Snap_Parallel Set snapping to a direction that is parallel to an edge.
Draft_Snap_Perpendicular Set snapping to a direction that is perpendicular to an edge.
Draft_Snap_Special Set snapping to the special points defined inside an object.
Draft_Snap_WorkingPlane Restricts snapping to a point in the current working plane. If you select a point outside the working plane, for example, by using other snapping methods, it will snap to that point's projection in the current working plane.
Draft_Split Splits the selected line or polyline into two independent lines or polylines by clicking anywhere along the original object. It works best when choosing a point on a straight segment and not a corner vertex. S, P
Draft_Stretch Stretches the selected objects. Select an object, then draw a rectangle to pick the vertices that will be stretched, then draw a line to specify the distance and direction of stretching. S, H
Draft_SubelementHighlight Highlight the subelements of the selected objects, so that they can then be edited with the move, rotate, and scale tools. H, S
Draft_Text Creates a multi-line annotation. CTRL to snap. T, E
Draft_ToggleConstructionMode Toggles the Construction mode. When this is active, the following objects created will be included in the construction group, and will be drawn with the specified color and properties. C, M
Draft_ToggleContinueMode Toggles the Continue mode. When this is active, any drawing tool that is terminated will automatically start again. This can be used to draw several objects one after the other in succession.
Draft_ToggleDisplayMode Switches the display mode of selected objects from flatlines to wireframe and back. This is helpful to quickly visualize objects that are hidden by other objects. This is intended to be used with closed shapes and solids, and doesn't affect open wires. Shift+Space
Draft_ToggleGrid Toggles the Draft grid on and off. G,R
Draft_Trimex Trims or extends the selected object, or extrudes single faces. CTRL snaps, SHIFT constrains to current segment or to normal, ALT inverts. T, R
Draft_UndoLine Undoes the last drawn segment of the line being drawn.
Draft_Upgrade Upgrades the selected objects into more complex shapes. The result of the operation depends on the types of objects, which may be able to be upgraded several times in a row. For example, it can join the selected objects into one, convert simple edges into parametric polylines, convert closed edges into filled faces and parametric polygons, and merge faces into a single face. U, P
Draft_Wire Creates a multiple-points line (polyline). CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. P, L
Draft_WireToBSpline Converts a selected polyline to a B-spline, or a B-spline to a polyline.
Draft_WorkingPlaneProxy Creates a proxy object from the current working plane. Once the object is created double click it in the tree view to restore the camera position and objects' visibilities. Then you can use it to save a different camera position and objects' states any time you need.
