# Shortcuts for Speed

To be efficient in SketchUp, it is critical to reduce the number of times your hands go back and forth between keyboard and mouse. **OpenCutList** supports keyboard shortcuts for many operations.

## Menu Shortcuts

The menu entries of OpenCutList make it possible to add SketchUp keyboard shortcuts. In the shortcut window of SketchUp you can filter by "opencutlist" to get a list of possible targets for a shortcut.

{% hint style="warning" %}
These shortcuts do not exist by default, because they could interfere with existing shortcuts.
{% endhint %}

## Minimize OpenCutList

To minimize the main window of **OpenCutList**, simply hit the **\<ESC>** key. To maximize the window, add a keyboard shortcut for "Generate Parts List".

## Smart Paint, Smart Axes and Smart Export Tools

Inside of a tool, you may use **\<TAB>** to go to the next sub-tool or **\<SHIFT>+\<TAB>** for the previous tool.

To get to the next option inside of a sub-tool (Paint edges 1 2 4), you may use **\<CTRL>+\<TAB>**.

## Right-click Menu

When a component is selected, a right-click menu to edit the parts properties or its axes is available.
