Oooh, just seen the IR for company wide labels has been marked as "completed".  That's epic news.  Thanks devs.

In the video about document folders, the narrative description on how to move documents to a new folders contains the phrase "right-click one or more documents..."  to start the process.  However, I find that only one document at a time can be moved.  Did I miss something, or is the voice-over unclear? 

Moving only one document at a time really slows down implementing this excellent new feature starting with a document list with dozens of entries.

Thanks for that. Yes the @' key works here too, so there is obviously some key mapping work still to do on this at OS.

I was distracted from even trying other keys by OS's confident statement that whatever the key was labelled, it would always be the key right over the TAB key.

It starting to like this is the least likely place to find it! ;-)

Jake, FYI, I've filed the bug report as requested.

Cheers

@edward_petrillo if you multi-select a group of documents and then right click, you'll have an option to move all of them.

@abefeldman, thank you; I caused the problem  by including just one document that I didn't own in the selection - that prevents you from moving the group until you exclude that document.

I like the SELECT OTHER SHORTCUT KEY very much. As PTC-Creo2 user - where this function is hidden under the RMB - I missed this in OS. Now it’s even more extended with the Shift function.

However… the choice of the accent-key causes an unexpected behaviour when using my keyboard setting “United States (international)”. After using the Select other key (‘) Windows reminds this key.

So, for example:

1. In a part studio select something by using the shortcut key (`) and then select by the LMB.

2. Open an extrude feature and change the Depth value. Now the accent (‘) is added to the field which gives a red field (see screenshot).
   .

The workaround for this is to use the keyboard setting  “United States”. However this is not what I like to have.

Can this problem be solved? I’m thinking of getting rid of the keyboard and using a mouse button or so, so that the Select other shortcut is independent of keyboards(ettings).

It's interesting how much trouble has come from mapping that one key ;p

My 'problem' which is just an inconvienience that i can fix is: that's the key i have set to change keyboard layouts between dvorak and qwerty.. oh well quick fix on my end.

Still find it a little funny tho    especially ñ key 

I love having it bound to a key like you have it though. That was an awesome idea

I see that Folders are automatically owned by the Company. Is it possible to create folders owned by 'me'?

October 19 + 3 weeks = November 9

Did I get the math right?

ps. I haven't yet found that magical select-other key in Finnish keyboard.. Though I did try them all and even looked into backside but no luck

I'm on pins and needles.

Three of my top things I'm constantly checking to see released: New episodes of Rick and Morty, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and OnShape updates
