Sandbox:Keyboard Shortcuts
Context
This page is aiming at refactoring the keyboard shortcuts in FreeCAD. Indeed at the moment, several problems exist such as overlapping, lack of consistency, ... When work is over, this page can be mutated so it serves as a keyboard shortcuts overview.
Timeline
Proposed activities are (more or less in chronological order) :
- List all available commands by workbench
- Define global guidelines
- Define new shortcuts to commands (following guidelines)
- Implement in the code
Global guidelines
Proposed guidelines :
- Use standard shortcuts for standard commands across software (New, Open, Save, Undo/Redo, ...)
- Shortcuts using 'Ctrl' key should be reserved for global commands
- Function keys (F1 to F12) should be reserved for global commands
- Shortcuts using 'Shift' key could be used to indicate an opposite/complementary action (to the one without 'Shift')
- Shortcuts using 'Alt' key should be avoided (it is used to access menus, and 'Ctrl+Alt' or 'Shift+Alt' are often system shortcuts)
- Shortcuts using only alpha key (single or combo -- without modifier) should be reserved to workbench local commands
- Shortcuts using only num key (without modifier) should be avoided (to prevent unwanted actions)
- Shortcuts using system keys ('PrntScr', 'Pause', ...) should be avoided
- Most used commands should have a shortcut. Not all commands have to have a shortcut.
List of commands
- Note: "A" means the keyboard key A, not the upper case letter A (aka Shift-Key A)
Global Workbench
Hidden Global Shortcuts
These shortcuts are not listed in the Keyboard Customization window. You will not see a warning if one of your shortcuts causes a conflict!
1. You can switch between workbenches with W, 1 through W, 9. These shortcuts are set automatically when FreeCAD launches. By arranging your workbench list in "Tools->Customize...->Workbenches", then closing and reopening FreeCAD, you can set these shortcuts to your liking. You can check and see these shortcuts in the Menubar's "View->Workbench", but not in the Workbench Dropdown List toolbar.
2. Std_DrawStyle opens a dropdown menu, making it impossible to change these 7 shortcuts in the GUI:
Command | Icon | Description | Shortcut | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|
Std_DrawStyleAsIs | Normal mode | V, 1 | ||
Std_DrawStylePoints | Points mode | V, 2 | ||
Std_DrawStyleWireFrame | Wireframe mode | V, 3 | ||
Std_DrawStyleHiddenLine | Hidden line mode | V, 4 | This draws the triangular meshes of solid objects. It is not for showing edges obscured by solid geometry. | |
Std_DrawStyleNoShading | No shading mode | V, 5 | ||
Std_DrawStyleShaded | Shaded mode | V, 6 | ||
Std_DrawStyleFlatLines | Flat lines mode | V, 7 |
Customizable shortcuts
These global shortcuts do appear in "Tools->Customize...->Keyboard". FreeCAD's GUI lists shortcuts by "Category", but this Wiki page lists shortcuts by "workbench". FreeCAD's GUI puts some commands, like "Export Page as SVG" in the file "category", but that command is actually from the TechDraw "Workbench". (Another reason why you might not find a command is because this subsection hasn't been updated for FreeCAD 0.20 yet.)
Note: In KDE Linux, some FreeCAD shortcuts follow the Common Actions shortcuts found in KDE System Settings. For example, KDE's default Redo is Ctrl+Shift+Z, not Ctrl+Y. If you override the shortcut within FreeCAD, your preference will be remembered even if the KDE shortcut changes. To use KDE's universal shortcuts again, click "Reset" or "Reset All." When FreeCAD launches, it imports KDE's shortcuts, so shortcuts may not seem "up to date" until FreeCAD is restarted. Tested 2022-09-30, Manjaro Linux 5.15, FreeCAD 0.20.1 (flatpak)

Draft_AnnotationStyleEditor | Manage or create annotation styles | |||
Draft_ApplyStyle | Applies the current style defined in the toolbar (line width and colors) to the selected objects and groups. | |||
Draft_Arc | Creates a circular arc by a center point and a radius. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. | A, R | ||
Draft_Arc_3Points | Creates a circular arc by picking 3 points. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. | A,T | ||
Draft_AutoGroup | Select a group to add all Draft and Arch objects to. | |||
Draft_BSpline | Creates a multiple-point B-spline. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. | B, S | ||
Draft_BezCurve | Creates an N-degree Bezier curve. The more points you pick, the higher the degree. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. | B, Z | ||
Draft_Circle | Creates a circle (full circular arc). CTRL to snap, ALT to select tangent objects. | C, I | ||
Draft_CircularArray | Creates copies of a selected object, and places the copies in a circular pattern. The properties of the array can be further modified after the new object is created, including turning it into a different type of array. | |||
Draft_Clone | Creates a clone of the selected objects. The resulting clone can be scaled in each of its three directions. | C,L | ||
Draft_CubicBezCurve | Creates a Bezier curve made of 2nd degree (quadratic) and 3rd degree (cubic) segments. Click and drag to define each segment. After the curve is created you can go back to edit each control point and set the properties of each knot. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. | |||
Draft_Dimension | Creates a dimension. Select a straight line to create a linear dimension. Select an arc or circle to create a radius or diameter dimension. Select two straight lines to create an angular dimension between them. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain, ALT to select an edge or arc. | D, I | ||
Draft_Downgrade | Downgrades the selected objects into simpler shapes. The result of the operation depends on the types of objects, which may be able to be downgraded several times in a row. For example, it explodes the selected polylines into simpler faces, wires, and then edges. It can also subtract faces. | D, N | ||
Draft_Draft2Sketch | Convert bidirectionally between Draft objects and Sketches. Many Draft objects will be converted into a single non-constrained Sketch. However, a single sketch with disconnected traces will be converted into several individual Draft objects. | |||

Draft_OrthoArray | Creates copies of a selected object, and places the copies in an orthogonal pattern. The properties of the array can be further modified after the new object is created, including turning it into a different type of array. | |||
Draft_PathArray | Creates copies of a selected object along a selected path. First select the object, and then select the path. The path can be a polyline, B-spline or Bezier curve. | |||
Draft_PathLinkArray | Like the PathArray tool, but creates a 'Link array' instead. A 'Link array' is more efficient when handling many copies but the 'Fuse' option cannot be used. | |||
Draft_Point | Creates a point object. Click anywhere on the 3D view. | |||
Draft_PointArray | Creates copies of a selected object at the position of various points. The points need to be grouped under a compound of points before using this tool. To create this compound, select various points and then use the Upgrade tool to create a 'Block'. Select the base object, and then select the compound to create the point array. | |||
Draft_PolarArray | Creates copies of a selected object, and places the copies in a polar pattern. The properties of the array can be further modified after the new object is created, including turning it into a different type of array. | |||
Draft_Polygon | Creates a regular polygon (triangle, square, pentagon, ...), by defining the number of sides and the circumscribed radius. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain | P, G | ||
Draft_Rectangle | Creates a 2-point rectangle. CTRL to snap. | R, E | ||
Draft_Rotate | Rotates the selected objects. Choose the center of rotation, then the initial angle, and then the final angle. If the "copy" option is active, it will create rotated copies. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. Hold ALT and click to create a copy with each click. | R, O | ||
Draft_Scale | Scales the selected objects from a base point. CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain, ALT to copy. | S, C | ||
Draft_SelectGroup | If the selection is a group, it selects all objects that are inside this group, including those in nested sub-groups. If the selection is a simple object inside a group, it will select the "brother" objects, that is, those that are at the same level as this object, including the upper group that contains them all. | |||
Draft_SelectPlane | Select the face of solid body to create a working plane on which to sketch Draft objects. You may also select a three vertices or a Working Plane Proxy. | W, P | ||
Draft_Shape2DView | Creates a 2D projection of the selected objects on the XY plane. The initial projection direction is the negative of the current active view direction. You can select individual faces to project, or the entire solid, and also include hidden lines. These projections can be used to create technical drawings with the TechDraw Workbench. | |||
Draft_ShapeString | Creates a shape from a text string by choosing a specific font and a placement. The closed shapes can be used for extrusions and boolean operations. | S, S | ||
Draft_ShowSnapBar | Show the snap toolbar if it is hidden. | |||
Draft_Slope | Sets the slope of the selected line by changing the value of the Z value of one of its points. If a polyline is selected, it will apply the slope transformation to each of its segments. The slope will always change the Z value, therefore this command only works well for straight Draft lines that are drawn in the XY plane. Selected objects that aren't single lines will be ignored. | |||
Draft_Snap_Angle | Set snapping to points in a circular arc located at multiples of 30 and 45 degree angles. | |||
Draft_Snap_Center | Set snapping to the center of a circular arc. | |||
Draft_Snap_Dimensions | Show temporary linear dimensions when editing an object and using other snapping methods. | |||
Draft_Snap_Endpoint | Set snapping to endpoints of an edge. | |||
Draft_Snap_Extension | Set snapping to the extension of an edge. | |||
Draft_Snap_Grid | Set snapping to the intersection of grid lines. | |||
Draft_Snap_Intersection | Set snapping to the intersection of edges. | |||
Draft_Snap_Lock | Activates or deactivates all snap methods at once. | Shift+S | ||
Draft_Snap_Midpoint | Set snapping to the midpoint of an edge. | |||
Draft_Snap_Near | Set snapping to the nearest point of an edge. | |||
Draft_Snap_Ortho | Set snapping to a direction that is a multiple of 45 degrees from a point. | |||
Draft_Snap_Parallel | Set snapping to a direction that is parallel to an edge. | |||
Draft_Snap_Perpendicular | Set snapping to a direction that is perpendicular to an edge. | |||
Draft_Snap_Special | Set snapping to the special points defined inside an object. | |||
Draft_Snap_WorkingPlane | Restricts snapping to a point in the current working plane. If you select a point outside the working plane, for example, by using other snapping methods, it will snap to that point's projection in the current working plane. | |||
Draft_Split | Splits the selected line or polyline into two independent lines or polylines by clicking anywhere along the original object. It works best when choosing a point on a straight segment and not a corner vertex. | S, P | ||
Draft_Stretch | Stretches the selected objects. Select an object, then draw a rectangle to pick the vertices that will be stretched, then draw a line to specify the distance and direction of stretching. | S, H | ||
Draft_SubelementHighlight | Highlight the subelements of the selected objects, so that they can then be edited with the move, rotate, and scale tools. | H, S | ||
Draft_Text | Creates a multi-line annotation. CTRL to snap. | T, E | ||
Draft_ToggleConstructionMode | Toggles the Construction mode. When this is active, the following objects created will be included in the construction group, and will be drawn with the specified color and properties. | C, M | ||
Draft_ToggleContinueMode | Toggles the Continue mode. When this is active, any drawing tool that is terminated will automatically start again. This can be used to draw several objects one after the other in succession. | |||
Draft_ToggleDisplayMode | Switches the display mode of selected objects from flatlines to wireframe and back. This is helpful to quickly visualize objects that are hidden by other objects. This is intended to be used with closed shapes and solids, and doesn't affect open wires. | Shift+Space | ||
Draft_ToggleGrid | Toggles the Draft grid on and off. | G,R | ||
Draft_Trimex | Trims or extends the selected object, or extrudes single faces. CTRL snaps, SHIFT constrains to current segment or to normal, ALT inverts. | T, R | ||
Draft_Upgrade | Upgrades the selected objects into more complex shapes. The result of the operation depends on the types of objects, which may be able to be upgraded several times in a row. For example, it can join the selected objects into one, convert simple edges into parametric polylines, convert closed edges into filled faces and parametric polygons, and merge faces into a single face. | U, P | ||
Draft_Wire | Creates a multiple-points line (polyline). CTRL to snap, SHIFT to constrain. | P, L | ||
Draft_WireToBSpline | Converts a selected polyline to a B-spline, or a B-spline to a polyline. | |||
Draft_WorkingPlaneProxy | Creates a proxy object from the current working plane. Once the object is created double click it in the tree view to restore the camera position and objects' visibilities. Then you can use it to save a different camera position and objects' states any time you need. |
