Rhino keyboard shortcuts

Custom keyboard shortcuts for Rhino3D.

Adding a keyboard shortcut

To add custom keyboard shortcuts, go in the upper bar and click Rhino 7 > Commands > Customize.

A new window opens: in the upper bar of this window, you can navigate through tool palette sets. If there is only the default one, you have to duplicate it in order to modify it. You will be prompted a name when duplicating.

One you have selected the tool palette set of your choice, you can modify the keyboard shortcuts by clicking Keyboard Shortcuts in the upper bar.

To add a shortcut, search for a command, for example Move, in the search bar in the bottom left corner of the window. Find the right tool you want to add a shortcut to, and click on it. Informations about this tool are displayed on the right side.

You can then add a shortcut for this specific tool by clicking in the Keyboard shortcut field, and then directly pressing the keys you want to use, for example ⌘E. It is automatically added in the field.

Repeat the action for every tool you want to add a shortcut to. Beware of conflicts you might create when adding keyboard shortcuts. A message is displayed when two shortcuts are in conflict. It is better to solve these conflicts before starting working.
