[solved] Keyboard Shortcut for Undo Last Point While Drawing Splines

[BrianZ111]

Can a keyboard shortcut be set for undoing the last fit point (or control point) while drawing splines? I've looked under Application Preferences > General > Tool Settings but I can't find it in there so putting this under suggestions. If it is already possible, please let me know how. Thanks.

Hi,

There is an Undo Last Fit/Control Point button on the Options Toolbar.
But there is no method to add a shortcut to every Options Toolbar button.

Backspace would be a nice candidate for Splines and Polylines but for the moment it is reserved for deleting entities.

For the record: The single letter commands with LI and PL are not shortcuts but they work via the Command Line.
This could also be implemented for Splines.

Maybe you could add a feature request on QCAD bugtracker:

You need to have a separate account there or register for a new one.

Thanks CVH and thanks Damon52 for offering to add it to the bug tracker. I didn't see anything in there yet though so I've gone ahead a created an account myself and added a feature request.

New in QCAD Pro 3.30.0 are automatic generated shortcuts for tool options in the options toolbar.

The keyboard shortcut to undo the last spline point is then ".U"

Excellent news. I wrote an AutoHotKey script to do this for myself but it'll be nice to have it built into the program and not to have to mess around with AHK anymore for this.

I finally got around to downloading the latest (3.30.1) and can't get this to work. When I type .U while drawing a fit point spline, nothing happens. When I type it while drawing a polyline, it starts filling it into the length text box.

Not sure if it matters but I'm using the trial, as I bought pro more then a year ago can't upgrade without paying again. Want to make sure this works before I pay to upgrade. Thanks.

Options toolbar shortcuts have had a major overhaul in QCAD 3.30.0. All options in the options toolbar now have shortcuts assigned to them.

These shortcuts consistently start with a comma (,).

The shortcut to undo the last point would be ",U", that's the comma key followed by the "U" key.

The tooltip of each widget also shows the assigned shortcut.

My mistake ,
Confused it with the deprecated dots of .X or .Y

,U works, thanks. I saw it in the tooltip as well but I guess it's pretty hard to tell the difference between a period and a comma there.
