      Tool Specific Shortcuts

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

      Tool Key Function
      draw Draw 1 Switch to 1 way track
        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.
