Tips

Learning Shortcuts

  • Hover over toolbar buttons to see keyboard shortcuts in tooltips
  • Most tools use memorable single letters (S for Select, E for Eraser)
  • Hold Space for temporary pan - release to return to previous tool

Workflow Efficiency

  1. One hand on keyboard, one on mouse - Use shortcuts for tools, mouse for clicking
  2. Space + drag for quick pans - Faster than switching to pan tool
  3. Tab to complete - Quickly finish paths and zones
  4. Escape to cancel - Undo mistakes before committing

Common Patterns

  • Stamp workflow: A to stamp (after selecting a symbol), click to place, V to select when done
  • Zone workflow: Z to draw, click points, Enter to complete
  • Linear workflow: L to draw, click path, Enter to complete
  • Cleanup workflow: E to erase, click false detections
