Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts

GoPxL supports various keyboard and mouse shortcuts.

Multiple tools are selected in the Tool Diagram panel.

Left-clicking a block in the Tool Diagram panel selects that tool. You can also select multiple tool blocks to perform operations on all of the selected tools. GoPxL supports the following shortcuts for selecting tools and performing operations on them:
