This is one of those very old undocumented features that I use whenever I have artifacts and other detritus that is not part of your design on the page. And as the years go by this seems to happen more and more frequently.

Shift + Ctrl + Tand for whatever reason, a small dialog opens to tell you how quickly it was done.

Do they do one for spectacles Gary?

[jaydear]

Gary, Did you get an insider tip or just work through all the key combinations to see what happens?

[gwpriester]

Jay - This is one of the really old features, one that I have been able to retain.

I recalled your earlier mention so I had logged it into my records as:

241

HotKey

0x54

T

Adjust Constrain

Shift+Ctrl+T

TimeDraw

Dialog Window

Displays a pop-up showing the time taken to redraw a page. Keeps a session history and average across multiple runs. I use it if I get drawing artefacts.

In passing, I am still trying to decipher this one. Do be careful:

66

HotKey

0x30

0

Constrain Alternative

Ctrl+Alt+0

TemplateToolsDialog

Dialog Window

Developer tool - Need to unravel its full purpose. All links go to Anchors that the application handles...

[as I am sure you know] it is listed in custom key shortcuts as Template Saver - interesting seems to do more than that by the look of it, still beta then ?

[my CKS are set to classic]

I raised it as it is dangerous for (Xara) Developers to just leave detritus around for punters to accidentally key into.

My keypress opens "Template Tools":

Export templates	Check templates
Create master from theme folder
Disable repelling on all objects

Component saving and importing:

it reminds me of the registry keys that we can change - automatically deselect line after drawing is still one i use and wish were in the UI- experimenting in the registry can lead to 'interesting times'

have you tried any of the functions - I thought about it but it doesn't really apply to what i do....

I think "Export Components" is the most damaging.
