Key Result
ctrl+Q Quit the hotkey app. This will stop keys being "stuck"
W Draw while pressed. Press and hold W, then release to stop drawing. A short single press of W will continue the drawing by 1 step. Continue tapping W to slowly draw.
F Draw until completion
E Add a checkpoint at mouse cursor location
R Reset list of checkpoints. Use this if you did not complete the previous drawing
S Set bridge-level adjustment. When using bridges in Freeways, the game will force a short section of road forwards (beyond where the script has drawn thus far). Compensate for that difference with this hotkey everytime you click on the bridge up/down button.
1 - 9 Reposition specific checkpoint.
