Modifying Native Commands

Back in Chapter 1, Reviewing the Basics, we briefly touched on the idea of using modifier keys to get more out of native commands. In this chapter, we review how modifiers work, then review every command and how it uses the modifier keys. If you are impatient, you can jump to the end of the chapter and use the complete modifier list for your operating system (OS). For now, let’s hop in and get modifying!

In this chapter, we will cover these main topics:

  • Using modifiers
  • Modifying Select
  • Using drawing modifiers
  • Modifying tools
  • Modifying SketchUp – quick reference
