Almost every function of PusaSlicer can be accessed via a keyboard shortcut. In addition to that, many functions have an alternative mode that can be accessed with a modifier key. They are a great time-saver and we suggest learning keyboard shortcuts at least for the most commonly used tools, such as the Move M, Rotate R and Scale S tools.
The list of all keyboard shortcuts can be displayed in the Help – Keyboard shortcuts window (or by pressing Shift+?).
Alternatively, you can hover over a tool icon and the keyboard shortcut will be displayed after a short delay.
On macOS, the Command (⌘) key is used instead of the Ctrl key.

can you please let me customize the shortcuts.
a key like 'tab' would be gret to switch back and fourth between 3D editor view and Preview.

Please add a 'Close file' command. I find it safer sometimes to simply close the file before opening or importing another file.
Thank you for PrusaSlicer and the Prusa 3d printers (and, of course, Prusa's support folks).

Would be nice for layout purposes to have a hotkey assigned to toggle Orthographic v Perspective camera. I prefer Persp unless doing tighter layout work.
