Tool Specific Shortcuts

These shortcuts allow you to perform various operations once a tool is selected.

Tool Key Function
draw Draw Shift+1 Switch to 1 way track
  Shift+2 Switch to 2 way track

When a tool is selected, options for that tool will be displayed in the Tool Properties Panel, which by default is docked at the top of the sidebar.

A common property of all tools is that pressing ESC will cancel the current tool action if one is in progress (for example, doing a measurement or drawing a line), while pressing ESC will exit the tool and return to the Select Tool.
