Shortcuts I’m Currently Learning (I try to learn a few new ones a month)
- special characters: cntrl + command + space
- show stencil: command 6
- start preso: option + control + p
- show/hide left panel: option + command + 1
- show/hide grid line: command + \
- next/previou scan vas: option [ and }
Other Tips:
- Hold shift when you drag an object to maintain the position
- Use the Combine Shapes tool
- OG 6 now has double stroke with full. Fun.
- "Scale text and shapes" is really helpful for converting full size wireframes into mini versions to show user flows
- Format objects with the chicklets
