Essential keyboard shortcuts

Flip and rotate components with these 3 key combinations

I used to say “I count mouse clicks for a living”. There’s a little bit of truth in that, actually. I like finding easier ways to do things.

Here are my 3 favorite keyboard shortcuts:

• Ctrl-4 to flip a component left / right

• Ctrl-5 to flip a component up / down

• Ctrl-R to rotate a component 90°

I don’t bother trying to remember which way Ctrl-R rotates. Clockwise? Counter-clockwise?

Whatever.

I just hit Ctrl-R until it’s how I want it.
