There's now a Keys and Mouse command in Help. It opens an SVG keyboard reference. (Do "make install" so it is copied to where Inkscape expects to find it). The reference is zoom-based, i.e. you are supposed to first find the section you need using the large section headings; then you zoom into the section and read smaller subsection headings; then you zoom into the subsection and read the keyboard shortcuts; if interested, you can zoom
even
more to read small-type comments and explanations. I think it's a natural approach for Inkscape with its 256x zoom, and it's pretty convenient. Of course it is assumed that you already know at least how to zoom and pan,
but
I think it's a safe assumption.
This is coming up well although the files seem a bit slow in displaying. Zooming in/out works etc.
The reference uses Bitstream Vera Sans exclusively as suggested by njh, so this is now a required font for Inkscape. I will now change the tutorial
to
Vera as well. I'm interested to know how they come up on other computers
and
platforms, if there are any misalignments, etc. Please send a screenshot
if
you have a problem.
The reference appears to be using Arial in my machine. This is not a problem. The tutorial is still using mainly Times New Roman and looks good with this font.
If Bitstream Vera Sans is required will it be packaged with the Win32 build?
