Accessing the Command line

Post by mlwoy » Fri Oct 05, 2018 8:29 pm

Is there a way via Keystrokes to access the command line?
If I have selected an object, like a line, with the mouse. and now want to use the command line to tell it what to do. Is there a keystroke to bring up the command line without moving the mouse pointer and clicking on the command line? before entering the command?

Qcad version 3.21.20
Windows 7
