Search shortcut any other option than alt + c?

ryan_mcgoldrick47

Just wondering if there is any shorter shortcut to search, in solidworks its 'W' Onshape the alt + C would be a bit nicer if it was just one letter reachable with left hand in resting position to keyboard.

I find I've stopped using any tool bars in solidworks and especially Onshape due to contextual menus depending on screen space, find it easier to just search for everything now.

I realise this is an esoteric request but would wager I am not the only person.

alt+c is pretty close for a keyboard shortcut, considering most people won't be holding both hands on the home row when modeling.
that and W is already used for "window zoom"

But consider my layout, it takes two hands or an awkward stretch with my right hand . (see the green circles)

ouch, yeah not a big issue, just like in rhino I think enter or space allows you to type in the command. one keyboard button switch would just be a bit nicer.

I think there are a couple of improvement request for key binding. May want to join one of them
