@TheMakerTales Would be great to define a list of shortcuts here. Note that these should not colide with the existing shortcuts.

I think an interesting direction to take the shortcuts might be using taking inspiration from FreeCAD sketching shortcuts

Here are all the FreeCAD sketches sortcuts

Carbon Copy	C then C (don’t press at the same time)
Close Shape	Ctrl + Shift + S
Constrain circle or arc	Shift + R
Copy	Ctrl + C
Connect edges	Ctrl + Shift + K
Constrain Angle	A
Constrain coincidently	C
Constrain Distance	Shift + D
Constrain Horizontal Distance	Shift H
Constrain Vertical Distance	Shift + V
Constrain Equal	E
Constrain Horizontally	H
Constrain Internal alignment	Ctrl + A
Constrain Parallel	Shift + P
Constrain perpendicular	N
Constrain onto object	Shift + O
Constrain Symmetrically	S
Constrain tangent	T
Constrain vertically	v
Create fillet	F
Create Line	L
Create rectangle	R
Extend Edge	T then E
Extend geometry	X
Move	Ctrl + M
Hide/Show internal geometry	Ctrl + Shift + E
Select conflicting constraints	Ctrl + Shift + E
Select constraints	Ctrl + Shift + C
Select elements with constraints	Ctrl + Shift + E
Select the horizontal axis	Ctrl + Shift + H
Select Origin	Ctrl + Shift + O
Select redundant constrains	Ctrl + Shift + R
Select the vertical axis	Ctrl + Shift + V
Toggle construction geometry	C then M (don’t press at the same time)
Trim edge	T then R (don’t press at the same time)

Alright so there are a few conflicts with existing shortcuts, to avoid them and to try to be consistent i would suggest to access all constraints through one modifir key e.g. shift. That would result in:

Shift + V vertical
Shift + H horizontal
Shift + C coincident
Shift + P parallel
Shift + N perpendicular
And so on...

I think that would be a great idea to go forward with.
