Keyboard Command

Post by crayon10 »

I can not figure out a keyboard command. There is the large arrow pointing up, which is the shift key and next to it is a equal sign with a narrow arrow through it. What is the equal sign with an arrow through it?

Are you on Mac ?
This is the "page up" or "page down" key, depending on the up/down direction of the arrow.

if you want to "gently" rotate your canvas, Ctrl+Alt and drag your mouse around in your project,
hit [Insert] key to reset the angle to 0.
(I hope a Mac does work as a PC do) :wink:

Then something isn't set correctly. I'm on a Mac and the canvas rotation (virtual animation disc) doesn't jump 45 degrees. It moves in small increments .

You now you can set it to a different key in the Preferences , right ? If the keyboard shortcut you currently have for rotation doesn't work well, try something else.

Are you using a Wacom tablet ? Try setting up one of the Touchstrips to rotate. Move your finger up on the touchstrip = rotate clockwise , move finger down on the touchstrip = rotate counterclockwise.
