Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that provide quick access to various commands and functions in software. In the context of software like SOLIDWORKS or general computing, they are highly beneficial for improving efficiency, precision, and workflow.
SOLIDWORKS allows you to customize shortcuts for commonly used commands. To do this:
Go to Tools > Customize > Keyboard Tab.
Search for the command you want.
Assign your preferred shortcut.
Quick Access Toolbar
You can press S to open the shortcut bar, a customizable toolbar that provides access to commonly used commands, available contextually in Part, Assembly, and Drawing environments.
