A few hotkeys are available in AnyRail that might make working with it a bit quicker.

Some well known Windows combinations:
Ctrl-S - Save
Ctrl-Z - Undo
Ctrl-Y - Redo
Ctrl-A - Select all
Ctrl-C - Copy
Ctrl-V - Paste
Copy and Paste works also between two running instances of AnyRail.
Simply start AnyRail twice, and you can easily copy stuff from other plans into your own plan.

Other keys:

'Delete' - works when hovering track or hovering a point on a line or surface. It also deletes your selection.
'p' - Adds a new point when hovering a line or surface
'h' - Opens the height dialog when hovering an endpoint, connection, or point on a line

Other interesting functions are available with the Shift key:
- Holding it down while dragging flex control points keeps each pair of control points in line
For the lines and surfaces
- Holding it down while dragging a point scales the figure
- Holding it down while dragging a line segment moves just that segment
- Elements are automatically unglued when dragged with the Shift key down

Thanks!
I already knew some of them because you kept it close to the Microsoft "standard". But it's always nice to learn some new hotkeys and prevent RSI Wink

One more:

Use the mouse wheel while pressing Ctrl to zoom in and out.
