Layout/Paper Space shortcut
There is the EM shortcut to return to model space, but is there a similar shortcut to go to paper space? I realize you could have multiple layouts so perhaps that's the issue with any kind of reasonable implementation? Would at least a shortcut to the original "Layout1" be a good idea?
Re: Layout/Paper Space shortcut
Thinking about this idea ...
My GUI has always the Block List Widget visible ...
... if I need to edit a Layout Block - I just double click on it in the Block List,
... if I need to return to my Model_Space - I just double click on it in the Block List or use X in the Block List icon bar,
... if I like to add a new Viewport, and I've already multiple Layout Blocks, QCAD will offer a menu to choose the correct Layout Block,
Sounds like you found already a reasonable reason ...ryancousins wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:23 amI realize you could have multiple layouts so perhaps that's the issue with any kind of reasonable implementation?
Personal I don't see any benefit with such a shortcut - but maybe that is also a question of my customized GUI in QCAD.ryancousins wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:23 amWould at least a shortcut to the original "Layout1" be a good idea?

Re: Layout/Paper Space shortcut
I always have the block list widget visible, too. In my workflow, I go back and forth between model and paper pretty frequently and only have one layout I'm working with, but I can imagine my use case is probably not super common.
