Accept hotkey

I wondered if it exist a way to "accept and go to next" shortcut in fusion 360? For example if i'm using mirror I would like to pick the geometry I want to mirror press shortcut and select mirror plane. And pressing the same shortcut again would finish the feature.

Now I have to manually go up and press the buttons in the feature box for each step.

 

This is right mouse button Solidworks and scroll wheel click in Abaqus and Siemens NX. I have found it speeds up the work a bit. If this exist it would make the user experience so much better.

using the tab key in dialog boxes has been requested many times, and it's a little hard to understand why it's not possible yet.

 

You can accept and end the current command by using the right mouse button and flicking to the right.  You can accept the current command and restart the same command using the right mouse button and flicking straight up.

I wasn't able to use the right mouse click to do this at all I tried all sorts of stuff. The fact I can't press return, tab, or space to cycle to the next parameter of an operation is extremely frustrating.

is this what the menu looks like when you right click in the design space?

also, if this is set to "tinker cad" flicking on the marking menu doesn't work, but I think it works with all the other settings-

The Tab key does have a limit use in numerical entry fields in the dialog boxes at this time.  I agree it needs to be expanded to all entry and selection fields but I just wanted to point out there is limit functionality

I've never tried right click and up to accept and start the next command. Simple now I've tried it. I always click ok then right click and up.

Agree that Tab working in more areas would be really useful
