Automatically move to length box
When I first start QCAD when I select something like a Line Horizontal, if you start typing a number it goes directly to the length box. After using it for awhile it will not automatically go to the length box when typing a number. How do I get it "reset" to automatically go to the length input box after selecting a line type, circle, etc. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
probably Ctrl+Space / ^Space

That would be "Focus on Options Toolbar". Shortcut: Ctrl + space
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

I would add that, at least for me, the focus on the options toolbar persists each time you invoke a tool that accepts parameters in the options toolbar unless you change your focus to something else, such as the command line. Hitting the space bar will make the command line the active entry area, and as noted above by CVH and Husky, ctrl-space will bring it back to the options toolbar.
