Hi eric, yup Burr has it nailed! :)

When there is a command that has multiple fields in it like rectangle, then instead of hitting Enter to commit the value you just typed in, press Tab.

Tab will commit the value you typed, and then also move focus to the next field so you can immediately start typing the next value.

Also you can press Tab a couple of times from the start if you want to skip focus between fields until you get to the one you want to type into.


When you are in "Selection mode" before you are running any command, you can also press Tab to put focus into the x,y,z coordinate box, and type in command names to launch a command that way, or also if you type in an object name that way it will select objects that match that name.

Whoa!!!!! Object name selection from the command. I missed that. Very cool :o

Hi Michael ...

That's great ... I just didn't realize the thing about the tab key and was confused because the enter key did not do what I expected.

Tab work like a charm.

You can also use wildcards for the typed in object names.

Like for example if you had 2 objects one named "Upper section" and the other named "Lower section", if you typed in *section it will match with both of those and select them both.
