Make the tutorials have a tool tip showing what keys are press and explain everything in the process
For the last week, I have struggled with the tutorials onshape offers, they are completely useless to someone who is extremely new to onshape.

Sketch "Use tool" (project geometry) cannot serve as an anchor
Hi, I come from Fusion 360, where I got in the habit of using the "project geometry onto sketch" feature.
