Shortcuts
Master Rayon's shortcuts to draw faster.
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.

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.
