Keyboard shortcut for cycling constraint solutions?

So half question, half suggestion; Is there any keyboard shortcut for cycling constraint solutions? (I haven't found one) To me the space bar seems natural, although the entry field for distance/angle does use it already. Some thing like Ctrl+Space could perhaps work? Moving the cursor back and forth to the dialogue to change the setting feels unnecessarily labor intensive...

Hi! I could be wrong. But if I understand your request correctly, it is doable by using Tab key already. Not all options in the assembly constraint dialog can be cycled but for most options, Tab key does cycle through them individually.

Many thanks!

@johnsonshiue Not exactly what I had in mind. It does cycle, yes, but it cycles through all the buttons and boxes, and it requires the constraint dialogue to be highlighted.

 

What I had in mind was something exclusive to the solutions, like swapping between "Mate"/"flush" or "opposed"/"aligned" with one keypress regardless of everything else. Just to make the assembly workflow faster by reducing hand movement as much as possible.
