Tools and the toolbar
| Select Scene Geometry tool |
Q |
| Activate a button of the current toolbar tab |
1 - 9, 0 |
| Next toolbar tab |
Ctrl+Page Down |
| Previous toolbar tab |
Ctrl+Page Up |
The number keys follow the toolbar tab you are on: each one activates the button at that position on the tab currently showing, counted from the left, with 1 on the first button and 0 on the tenth. Separators do not take up a number, and buttons past the tenth have no key. Switching tabs therefore points the same ten keys at a different set of buttons.
A key that lands on a tool can be tapped or held. Tapping it selects the tool, and tapping it again returns to the Select Scene Geometry tool. Holding it selects the tool only for as long as the key is down, and the tool you were using before comes back when you release it, which is a quick way to reach for another tool in the middle of an edit. Q behaves the same way. A key that lands on any other button simply runs it, exactly as clicking the button would.
See User Interface for the toolbar itself.
