The Keys and Mouse tables below are the same list as Help › Keys and Help › Mouse in MatterCAD itself (press F1 and find them in the list of help pages). In the app, those pages show Mac keys on a Mac.
Keys that belong to one tool are on that tool’s page: the sheet editor , the path editor , 3D Curve points and text fields.
