FreeCAD Hotkeys

FreeCAD is really a dozen programs sharing one window. The deck is laid out the same way, so the keys in front of you match the workbench you are actually in.

Good to know

  • Commands are grouped by workbench; a command does nothing if its workbench is not active in FreeCAD.
  • The Status key reflects the active document state read from FreeCAD itself.
  • FreeCAD's 3D view needs keyboard focus (one click inside it) before single-letter shortcuts register, and an active tool captures the keyboard until you press Esc. Both are FreeCAD behaviors that apply to a physical keyboard too.

True of every plugin we make

  • Every key ships with the app's stock default shortcut, and every key is remappable. Type your combination into the property inspector or click Capture and press it once.
  • Keystrokes go to the active window. The plugin never steals focus or targets a window, so keep the target app in front when you press.
  • Every command has its own drawn key art, so the deck reads at a glance instead of listing shortcuts.
