Bri Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 In previous versions of VW, pressing the key while in the object info palette would move focus back to the main drawing window, allowing another keyboard shortcut to activate a tool. This doesn't seem to work anymore in 2013 - am I missing a setting? I keep entering "x" in fields everywhere as I try to activate the selection tool after editing some information. Thanks, -b Quote Link to comment
Bri Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hmm, should have said: VW 2013 SP2 (Build 177995) Mac OS 10.8.3 Macbook Pro 15" Core i7 8gb RAM Does that narrow it down at all? Is there a preference I'm missing? Been driving me nuts for almost 6 months now! Thanks, Brian Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 On my MacBook Pro the Caps Lock key requires a harder key stroke to activate than other keys. And it has to be straight down - a sideways stroke seems to fail most of the time. Also, the "`" key sticks sometimes when I temporarily disable the snaps. This inadvertently locks out all the snaps and grays out the snap palette until I strike the key a few more times to release it. Could your escape key or the way you hit it be part of the problem? -B Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Works for me. I don't think there's a pref for that. Did you try a different workspace? After that, try a different keyboard, install SP3, and test on another computer. Quote Link to comment
Revend Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This is true. esc works. I use esc for this purpose. Anyway thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment
