2.1. Access to Eeschema commands

You can reach the various commands by:

  • Clicking on the menu bar (top of screen).
  • Clicking on the icons on top of the screen (general commands).
  • Clicking on the icons on the right side of the screen (particular commands or “tools”).
  • Clicking on the icons on the left side of the screen (display options).
  • Pressing the mouse buttons (important complementary commands). In particular a right click opens a contextual menu for the element under the cursor (Zoom, grid and editing of the elements).
  • Function keys (F1, F2, F3, F4, Insert and space keys). Specifically: The “Escape” key often allows the canceling of a command in progress. The “Insert” key allows the duplication of the last element created.
