Appendix: List of 2-Letter and Other Commands

[Gary-Wheeler]

Thought this chart would be helpful to users.

Note that none of the two letter commands are not capitalized, Will do that in a later version. When there is a longer command name it is also listed but in lower case.

They were taken directly from the spreadsheet in the User Guide, only the two letter commands I capitalized. Is this distracting?
The "Description" column could be removed as is is just duplicated elsewhere. Discuss? Could also be severely shortened.

I added in the CAL command which turns on/off calculator mode. However that works.
Feel free to comment or criticise, thanks.

enclosed is Libre Office spreadsheet. Can convert to other format if needed.

LibreCADCommands04.ods

[Gary-Wheeler]

I have a LibreCalc spreadsheet available. Its a third of a page wide but three pages long. Intended to print or view as one page. I am not sure how combine it to print that way.

I shortened the command descriptions so that they would not duplicate all the text in the User Manual. Although shortening the descriptions might get rid of the "active voice" encouraged in the style manual of users guides. Comments welcome.

LibreCADCommands06.ods

pdf:
LibreCADCommands06.pdf

Probably needs grid lines, as well as being combined into one sheet.

[Gary-Wheeler]

Okay, more or less complete, ready for any corrections. Taken from the 2.2.0 user manual directly and alphabeticised, descriptions shortened, hypertext active I hope, done in LibreOff8ce, might not be the best program, files inclosed. The spreadsheet, a document/drawing format, and a pdf of that. Hope it can be of use. Perhaps in a later version of the Manual I have not yet seen. I try to number my files sequentially by age, number 08 is the latest.

LibreCADCommands08.pdf

[Gary-Wheeler]

Updated the Commands List as a pdf. Might be handy for users, includes links to further information on docs. I changed all the commands to LOWER CASE. As upper case may affect some commands.

Here is the one page pdf of all the LC Commands:

ctl y was left off my list. It is the REDO command.
that means it was also not on the user manual lists of commands.

@Gary-Wheeler it is still unclear what you mean with LibreCAD forum.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I will study it.  The chart I made was merely a cut and paste from the commands listed in the User Manual, then alphabetized, so may not be as complete.  I did not put it in the correct format to add it to the User Manual as an appendix though.  cool list.  sincerely Gary Wheelerarchitect, but not a programmer!

Seems that I am not able to connect via https://dokuwiki.librecad.org/ but that is not what I was looking for! I will be careful with any edits there.

I was mostly trying to connect with https://forum.librecad.org/ to kind of feel out what users need and basically socialize about stuff. Can't seem to register. Have been trying for about a month. At one point used an overly simple password that must have been rejected too.

Oh well, thx.

Tried it on the Libracad Forum, but it did not recognize either of my email addresses. Will try again later.

@lordofbikes : My frustration was, I did not know the difference between "Zulip Chat" link on the program's web site versus "Forum" link. They seem to be two different things. At least I have access to the Zulip Chat now. And can try to converse there.

lol

Am still not sure what the relationship is to each other.

[Gary-Wheeler]

Like really, wtf is a "Zulip chat"(!) I would have guessed it was some kind of "flower talk" regarding the Zider Zee or something I could otherwise ignore as a manley man(!) lol
