How do you combine keyboard shortcuts?

Post by BruceM »

I can't find this topic already covered, thought it probably has been: How does one combine shortcut key commands under one key press? In other words, if I want to combine "Shape: Apply" and "Shape: Select Clear", how do I do that?

Hi,

This is covered in the software's user manual here:
To assign a sequence of functions to a shortcut, you need to:

-Pick a function from the right hand column.
-Pick the desired shortcut from the left hand column.
-Click on Assign.
-Pick another function from the right hand column.
-Hold down CTRL and click on Assign at the same time. You'll see that the second function is added to the first one.
-Repeating steps 4 and 5, you can add multiple functions to one shortcut. When you use the shortcut, the commands will be executed in the order they were added.
I hope this helps!

I have 2 related questions:

1) When I surround a drawing using the Freehand Selection and then hit Shape: Transform Position, it pops my drawing to a different size and position on screen. Is there a way to make it so that the drawing stays in the same place until I use the bonding box to manipulate it?

2) After I've used Shape: Transform Position or Shape: Perspective on my drawing, I'm using a shortcut combo of Shape: Apply and Shape: Select Clear, but the green or red bounding box doesn't go away. What additional command do I need to use to have the box go away.

Thanks
