Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a full list detailing the keyboard shortcuts to speed up support placement?

For example, I know that pressing SHIFT can switch between adding/removing supports.

Thanks!

>>>> Robin I just re-read your post, and I realized it's in regards to "support placement" keyboard shortcuts, but this explains general keyboard shortcuts in SC:

You can lookup all of the keyboard shortcuts in the current BETA release of Solus Contour (1.9.35).
Go to Help > Check for Updates to update to the latest BETA version.

If you can't download 1.9.35, go to: Edit > Preferences > make sure "Update to Beta Versions" is checked.

Then once installed, just go to: Help > Controls ....this will display a list of SC keyboard shortcuts

Also in SC 1.9.35 - all resins profiles display your STL files in the resin colour, which makes it easy to make sure you are using the correct resin profile before printing :-)

Thanks for the info, Rik! I just updated to 1.9.35 and sadly, it doesn't seem there are any shortcuts for modifying the size of the tips etc. or anything related to supports, really :(

Now that I think about. All the shortcuts might not be listed. I know that pressing shift toggles between adding/removing supports when the manual supports tab is open but it's not listed so there might be shortcuts made but just not listed. Perhaps Emil could chime in.
