Menus, key shortcuts and confusion.

Ok, newbie here......

 

I have found this problem with other programs too, but I want to check it isn't me.

 

Sketch/Line.....   'L'

Sketch/Rectangle (2 sided).....   'R'

Create/Extrude.....  'E'

 

L, R, E?

 

No, they are l, r, and e.

 

I hold the SHIFT KEY down and press the L, R or E and wonder why it doesn't work.

 

Why can't the program show the REAL key press needed?

 

Another one which has made me laugh many times over when I see it is Ctl <Shift> +

When it should be Ctl <Shift> =

Or:

Simply:

Ctl +

Hey mark33.in.oz,

Thanks for the feedback. You can also make custom keyboard shortcuts, this might improve your experience: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/quick-tip-custom-keyboard-shortcuts/

Hi.

(Should have mentioned this when I marked it as solved, but.....)

 

Although you have explained/shown me that I can define keys, the issue that to create a 2 point rectangle the menu says it is 'R' when really it is 'r'.
