Guide to creating your hotkey map

​My ​keymaps are below but if you want to roll your own:

1. start with the SVG cheatsheet, below, and think about how you'd organize things better for you
2. Option A: Take your cheatsheet and go through Preferences -> Hotkeys and set them up (bit of a pain, really), or
   Option B: Just edit the .hotkeys file directly, prior to import, so you can do them all with less clicks (I'm a big fan of less clicks, as you may have guessed)

My Resulting KeymapsDownloads

• the importable kicad keymaps
• the customizable SVG cheatsheet

Download these, or follow the recipe to roll your own.  Either way, do implement a similar system, use the cheatsheet to learn it as you design and see how much smoother things get.
