    Learning to Drive Using the Keyboard

    When you first learn to drive


    a software program, it is usually easiest to use the mouse.
    As you become more of an
    expert user, however, it can
    often be faster to use the keyboard to execute commands.
    Also, heavy software users who
    rely too much on mouse operations run the risk of developing
    repetitive strain injuries.

    ctrl+o for View/ Push Into Hier-

    archy
    Use F7 to launch simulations,
    and the escape key to terminate commands.
    F5 moves component text.

    After moving a component, it


    remains selected. To deselect
    it, just click on a blank spot in
    the schematic.

    The HP Advanced Design System has many built-in hot keys


    (Alt+f, for example, opens the
    File menu), and you can customize hot keys to perform
    operations that you use frequently.
    In the Options menu of the
    Main window or of a design
    window, the command
    Menu/Toolbar Configuration

    opens the Customization dialog box where you can customize both hot keys and the tool
    bar configuration. In the Main
    window, you can customize
    Main window operations; in a
    design window, you can customize hot keys for that type of
    design (schematic and layout
    are set independently).
    Hot key suggestions for editing
    schematics:
    f for View All
    d for Redraw View
    z for Zoom Area
    2 for Zoom Out x2
    e for Edit Component Param.
    t for Draw (insert) Text
    w for Component Wire (draw-

    ing wires between components)


    m for Move & Disconnect (in

    most cases, this is preferable to


    the Move command, which
    causes wires to remain connected)
