Hello Shap3D Team,

**The problem that this feature will solve:**  
Speed in drawing.

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**  
There are shortcuts for many features, but there are also some features that they are not made for… Think of ‘Pattern’, ‘Rotate Around Axis’, ‘Align’ and ‘Mirror’.

Where possible, please build an option where you can assign shortcuts to a function yourself or assign a fixed shortcut, such as ‘Scale’ or ‘Translate’.

I really don’t understand why these have been missed out. I’ve requested mirror several times as I use that a lot. It doesn’t make sense considering there aren’t that many shortcuts compared to most modelling programs.

…and why can’t we assign our own shortcuts?

Shortcuts won’t help if you’re using an ipad which I consider the default way to use Shapr.

Not anymore. And even then you can easily use keyboard on iPad.
