Greetings FG team,

I know they are out there. I tried the wiki and no list. I am looking for some of the keyboard shortcuts for helping while doing line of sight. Ctr+z does what? While I am snapping to grid i want to disable it and I cant seem to get the line to stop, I have to hit escape.

Arrow Keys to Move
CTRL+Arrow keys to move slowly
Space Bar to make a point
CTRL+Z deletes last point (You can press this multiple times)
CTRL+Y to redo
Delete key deletes a selected point
Backspace removes selected point
Hold Down CTRL will enable/disable Snap depending on whether snap is on or off
Hold SHIFT whilst using the rectangle tool to draw a square
Hold SHIFT whilst using the Ellipse tool to draw a circle


Possibly others I've forgotten

I think I covered all of them in these videos https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?52024-LOS-videos

If you have points selected, the arrow keys will move the points by one grid distance. If you hold CTRL, it will move them by a single unit. This was added relatively recently, so I don't think it is on anyone's list or any videos.

Quick question: Does the Space Bar no longer make a point while drawing LOS walls? I haven't seen an update that says anything different, but it no longer works for me.

It seems not to be working, but this is an old post. I've only ever used left click to make points so I don't know if the space bar thing was changed or it's a bug.

The space bar was recapped for navigation: space bar + left mouse drag in the 2D view and space for mouse look in the 3D views. Adding a point is now the numpad plus key and enter to complete the path.
