I would like a complimentary shortcut to explode them when needed. For example I can use a standard Sketchup shortcut to create groups. I also discovered that the menu items offered in the customisation menu are incomplete. I do think there should be a better way of discovering the shortcuts than going the menus and sub menus one by one and writing them down. I would have thought this was something that Sketchup should publish in an easily accessible form. In researching this subject before I posted my query I found a surprising number of posts from people unable to find a listing. I can’t help feeling that this isn’t terribly well implemented or documented in Sketchup. All the shortcuts prefaced with the Cmd Key for example. Trolling through the menus there are dozens of shortcuts there that this Ruby function does not list. It does produce a list but a very short and very incomplete one.

I found a Ruby one liner (puts Sketchup::get_shortcuts) which should display them but I haven’t a clue how to use this as I have never touched on Ruby or the console. This means I don’t know what combos to avoid because they are already assigned. I am encountering two problems.Īside from the very basic shortcuts given in the Quick Reference Card I have been unable to find a proper comprehensive listing anywhere.
