Keyboard Shortcuts[edit | edit source]

Seamly2D provides various keyboard shortcuts to speed up your process of creation pattern.

The list may be extended in the future. A keyboard shortcut might also conflict with a shortcut that a Window manager uses for its own purposes. In that case, Seamly2D shortcuts do not work. On some systems, in applications based on the Qt keyboard, shortcuts may not work, too.
