Summary | 0003786: Ability to cycle between selectable objects (using a keyboard shortcut) | ||||
Description | Sometimes, I am unable to select an object or edge. This is because that edge or object may be coincident with another edge or object. I can usually get around this by hiding objects in the tree, or by changing into wireframe mode, or both. This works, but is slow and not user friendly. In Revit, you can press "tab" to cycle between objects to select under your mouse until you have the right object. In Blender, you can keep on clicking to select until you select the right one and then perform the operation. I propose that a similar feature such as hitting tab be implemented. I suspect the Blender approach of clicking again will not work, because FreeCAD implementations select the operation beforehand, and then select the object. Therefore some keypress should occur. "Tab" seems sensible (after all, alt-tab is switch windows in window management) Forum discussion is here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=281380 | ||||
