Actions available in PythonCAD

10/17/05	SDB	Original doc

Notes:

Note that you only need to hit <alt> for the first key in the mnenomic; the remaining keys can be pressed with or without simultaneously holding <alt>.

In the future I (SDB) propose to implement two new top-level menu items: “Select” and “Settings”. “Select” will hold all actions associated with selecting objects. (Ideally, when in idle mode PythonCAD will automatically allow for single objects to be selected using the mouse without needing to first select a selection filter.) “Settings” will hold menu items used for program settings. It will also hold the “zoom” action. Finally, it should (eventually) hold actions used to move the view point (pan).
