All the keyboard shortcuts
Do you use keyboard shortcuts in Metro Map Maker? If you do, you probably save yourself lots of time when making maps!
You might want to bookmark this page – as I add new keyboard shortcuts, I'll update this list:
- A
- B
- C: Collapse / Expand menu
- D: Draw
- E: Erase
- F: Flood fill
- G: Guide
- H: Hide/Show grid (cycles through 3/5/7/0 squares)
- I
- J
- K: Look
- L: (Placeholder for Label tool, not yet built)
- M: Move Station (with mouse) or Move Selection
- N
- O: Cycle through Station orientations (Shift+O cycles backwards)
- P: Eyedropper
- Q: Cycle through line styles (Shift+Q cycles backwards)
- R: Ruler
- S: Add/Edit Station
- T: Select tool / clear selection
- U
- V
- W: Cycle through line widths (Shift+W cycles backwards)
- X: Toggle transfer station
- Y: Toggle Style menu
- Control+Y: Redo
- Z
- Control+Z: Undo
- - (minus): Zoom out
- + (plus): Zoom in
- [ and ] (square brackets): Move the menu to the left/right side of the screen
- Arrow Keys: Move the map / Move selection
- While the Station menu is active and a station is selected: Move your selected station. (You can move a station diagonally by pressing both keys at once).
- Number Keys: Select colors 1-10
- Shift+Number Keys: Select colors 11-20
- Alt+Number Keys: Select colors 21-30
- Esc: Clear selection
- Delete: Delete selection
- Backspace: Delete selection
Which ones do you use most often? I use D and E a lot – E to erase any stray marks, and then pressing D once I'm ready to draw again will use my most-recently-used line color, width, and style.
