Access "move/copy" options without the dialog box

Post by red6rick » Thu Dec 19, 2019 4:20 pm

qcad version 3.23.0 on mac and pc

Is there any way I can access the options, such as "keep original", in the move/copy command WITHOUT having to use the mouse, completely with the keyboard? I know I can turn off the dialog box, but then (for example) the move command is purely move, without copy. I'd like to be able to say "move the selected entity 10 units left, making 4 copies" without having to touch the mouse!

Thanks,
rick

Yes, but my test showed that something isn't correct working. :oops: I'll file a bug report to get it fixed ASAP.

Meanwhile you can use the dialog with the keyboard. To focus the keyboard to the dialog use CTR + space in Windows, navigation is typically (shift, space, arrow, enter etc) like any other Dialog navigation in Windows.
