Tools do not have shorcuts.

[adambelis]

We could add shorcuts for tools we could follow Inkscpae S - Select (probably problematic in selection tool since it fight scale function ) B - bezier pen N - node tool R - Rectangle (probably problematic in selection tool since it fight rotation function ) E - Eli[see X ? - Null D - dropper tool

Or illustrator / after effects

V - selection tool A - Node tool P - Bezier pen M - rectangle L -Elipse x? - null I -eye droper

I prefer what we have now (function keys), but open for suggestions.

btw, forgot to say that you can change the shortcuts for the tools, it's just not documented nor have a UI (or check if the shortcut is already in use, or supported).

In friction.conf (in Windows this is sadly the registry):

[shortcuts]
boxTransform=F1
pointTransform=F2
pathCreate=F3
drawPath=F4
circleMode=F5
rectMode=F6
textMode=F7
nullMode=F8
pickMode=F9

ah i didnt know thta since this is not in shortcuts dialog. I this think that human readable shortcuts would be nice if they are free but not necsery

[rodlie]

not in shortcuts dialog

My bad, should be in the dialog, probably just forgot. Will add.

I'd highly suggest using a default shortcut for "Add keys" as well Since it's blender-esque, further inspirations would be, welcome?

[rodlie]

I'm open for suggestions on any (new) shortcuts. Just name the action and shortcut and we will figure out something.

In the long run we need a shortcut manager, but that's for v1.1+
