Allegro - Tip of the Week: Deleting Elements using Function Key

PCBTech

How would you like to just hover your cursor over an object in your layout like cline, via, text, or shape, and delete it just by pressing “d” on the keyboard?

Yes, you read it correctly. No click of the mouse is required. It works on multiple selected elements as well. Just write this in the Allegro command window or add it to your env file:

funckey d "prepopup; pop dyn_option_select @:@Delete"

What other funckey shortcuts do you use? Share it below, so others can learn from you too.
