FreeCAD Forum

However your question has nothing to do with shortcuts... I think your answer can be found here https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Mouse_Model I'm not entirely sure - some software provide such ability exactly in shortcuts setup menu. Because sometimes presets systems doesnot work, like in this case. ...

There is a question, that worries me.
Will there be ability to switch RMB to pan view (+MMB to rotate view)?

To reserve more screen space for other purposes. ATM i guess one possible solution is BIM workbench utilizing command panel in menu mode. That's a complex question. Basically, tool buttons are needed to learn software abilities at start, then user remember them as shortcuts in case if he is going p...

But have you been using Freecad? if yes how long and for what purpose? Personally, I do not know anyone who knows or uses the freecad in principle, despite the decades of work in the industry. Nice to know you are existing) As CG workflow designer I can learn and improve concept of any kind of soft...

Amazing job with icons, 1D_Inc! There is already a support for different icon themes, I'll have a look at how we can integrate yours.

That mockup took for about 6 hours, proper icons requires much more efforts.
Anyway, it will be nice to try them on)

What about the blender 2.8 ribbon? Well, it's total faillure. There is no any need in it, so it was drawn by someone because... why not, instead, for exaple, of improving T panel, that is still the best solution on market. Ribbon in 2.8 - as it was expected - took the place being wasted most of the...

Finished my mockup.
It took some time to guess colored light theme)
Attaching SVG if it is interesting.

keyboard shortcuts is a though one, basically there are so many tools in FreeCAD that it's a problem using single-letters shortcuts (you see that many other apps have the same problem and use the same solution...).

Yep. Only AutoCAD PGP-based console shortcut system can solve this.

Well, Ribbon is nice example of bad design. Mostly it is useless GUI, that annoingly holds 1/5 of screen for nothing. Blender's 2.79 UI has got the best realization of ribbon at the moment - they made it vertical and called T panel. It allows to have hundreds well described tools and addons in T pan...
