Now that we have discovered all of Rayon's commands, let's have a look at shortcuts.\ In Rayon, shortcuts come in two kind: **shortcut** mode and **command** line mode. Additionally, for the command line mode, users can choose whether to use **Rayon's command line** **keys** or use **AutoCAD-like keys**, in any of the available languages the app supports. Learn more about command access mode here. *** ### Drawing tools Shortcuts in Rayon can be **swapped between sets**: a Rayon set and AutoCAD-like set are available today. Swapping can be done in your **user settings page.** {% hint style="info" %} * Mode toggles follow a fixed convention: **`A`** switches the command's main mode, **`B`** its second mode when it has one, and **`L`** toggles once/loop. * `CTRL` mentioned below corresponds to `⌘ CMD` for Mac users. {% endhint %} {% tabs %} {% tab title="Rayon shortcuts" %}
