Command

Post by Graham » Sun Feb 16, 2020 12:36 pm

Hi All
Can anybody please tell me, after drawing a lot of lines etc, what is the quickest way of getting back to the command line. I currently do it by by pressing escape or enter multiple times.
Many thanks
Graham

Have you tried the "Space key" on your keyboard ...?
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

Hi Husky
The space key does what it says, moves the cursor to the left/right, does not go back to command,

My mouse cursor is not moved by pressing the SPACE key.
The cursor inside the Command Line is obviously moved to the right by pressing SPACE key.

Like Husky said:
> Draw / Line from 2 points.
> Drew a bunch of lines.
> Hitted the space key and I am in the Command Line.

Do you have another approach?

Hi All
Drew a bunch of lines.
Hit the SPACE KEY and the cursor goes to the right.
Hit the ESCAPE KEY several times and eventually got back to command line.
Still no further on.

IF there is a flashing "|" and it moves to the right when you press space bar then you are already in the command line. I remember when I first started with CP/M... I did not immediately comprehend whether I was at command prompt or in the application... was confusing where the application focus was. Then, in a blink it was obvious. But that was then.
