Things I Like About Golly

Post by otismo »

Please feel free to post the things YOU like about Golly

so perhaps we may all learn new stuff in a handy, convenient location...

I am a big fan of keyboard shortcuts - so I recommend that section of HELP

( shortcut key H )

Believe it or not, I just learned ( maybe re-learned ) that C

cycles thru cursor tool-tips

Z is UNDO

Shift-Z is ReDo...

I try to undo my undo(redo last operation), but when I press Ctrl+Y, nothing happens, I really think this is very terrible.

I uses Ctrl+Shift+Z, but the response isn't my Golly, but my Sougou IME(The symbol panel). I was forced to use the Shift+Z key combination to resume the previous operation. I'm very dissatisfied for this g0dd%m~ key combination. ( :x )
