Customizability in Keyboard Shortcuts - Changing "Onshape Controlled" Shortcuts?
Hello Onshape Users and Team,
I'm coming back to Onshape after using a different CAD software for a handful of years, and have gotten used to a system or set of controls for navigating the environment. While I do have the ability to keybind most functions, many fundamental controls are "Onshape Controlled" and cannot be changed or edited. A good example is the clear selection key being bound to "space", or the coarse rotate being bound to "Shift+leftarrow/rightarrow/uparrow/downarrow". Some of the more standard operations like copy and paste, or undo/redo I can understand, but is there any way to change these "Onshape Controlled" shortcuts for a more custom, faster operation experience, or disable the "Onshape Controlled" feature entirely, in some advanced settings somewhere? I couldn't find any other help online. Thanks much!

Escape deletes text changes in a drawings textbox.
Please please please change this.
This UX feature is not consistent with any other software I use so it is impossible to fully disengage from repetitive habits…
Re: Better Visual Accessibility for Sketches with Errors
We are aware of this issue and will be addressing it soon, but in the meantime, use the filter at the top and select :errors
Re: Combine outlines of object into new shape and then extrude?
OK can select all 4 components into one new sketch with the "Use" button, which shows as first picture. When I try to extrude, it highlights the extrusion as red. (attached 2). It took ticking the option of "Merge all" when selecting the extrude of the sketch to achieve the desired result. thanks all for the steer.
Re: How do I convert these simple 3 sketches into a sheet metal part?
Turn them into surfaces using Offset surface with a zero offset. Boolean them together and then use sheet metal with Thicken.

Re: Conditional features?
@vanowm while your waiting on the official way to do it, this feature supports conditional suppression based on equations, configurations, other features, etc..
Re: Set Property (New Custom Feature!) 🆕
Thank you. It selects mesh now, but it doesn't rename the part. Adding regular solids in the same feature, renames these, but not the mesh
In addition, when switched to expression type and entered "Test [" ~ #Length ~ "x" ~ #Hook ~ "]"
P.S.
Something wrong with this forum. It would not allow me add any text in the text box so I had to "post it", now when I try edit my empty message it does same thing: I can't type anything.

Forum issues: sorting options overlapping new discussion button; can't type anything
- This has been like this for at least few month now:
The sorting dropdown button is overlapping new discussion button (the dropdown menu shown is when I clicked the dropdown arrow button) - while I was typing a comment I used ` (grave accent) around a text to highlight it as
inline code, however because it was end of typed text anything I typed after it would be highlighted as inline code and I couldn't get out of that, so I was trying delete everything, but ended up with highlighted space on right side of the cursor. After page refresh it showed that highlighted space and nothing showed when I was typing. There was no cancel button, onlysave draftorpost comment, (save draft is useless button, since it apparently saves it automatically anyway) . I hitpost commentbutton and it posted an empty message:
Even attempting edit that message doesn't snow anything I type.

What sets the width of a custom table imported into a drawing?
I am inserting a custom table into a drawing. It is slightly wider than the drawing sheet and so I adjust it to fit. But then the next time I update the model the custom drawing reverts to its original size. How can I resize the custom table so that I don't have to keep on resizing it?
