Aleem's Hotkeys

These are my personal hotkeys for coreldraw which I have been using since version 8 and I continue to add more hotkeys every day. Would love to have your comments and feedback on that.

Since I use CorelDRAW (for a long, long time...) and I´ve learned how much shortcuts can do task easier and faster, I´ve kept all the same shortcuts from earlier to oldest versions.

Shortcuts make us addicted and when I have to deal with CorelDRAW from someone else is torture. To solve this problem, now I walk with a Pendrive in my pocket with my customizations. I can not live without them anymore.

So true Silvio. I can't imagine working with corel without my own workspace. Infact I've backed up my whole GMS folder alongwith the workspace file on a secure online backup site, So I don't need pen drive either.

Besides keeping my preferences in Pendrive (it is always with me in my keychain), also keep a website. However, having them in your pocket is an extra security if  the client does not have access to the Internet.

I normally use Keyboard shortcuts alot.

Also, some of my macros are placed on a custom toolbar.

I see you missed the Powerclip features like Place inside container... for me it's Shift+Z.

Hi Adrian,

Power Clip is one of those shortkeys I can't live without. I use Alt+P and I think it's there in the list.

Me too, PowerClip (place inside container) is one the most used shortcuts on my workflow: Ctrl+1 I can't work without it, and others like Copy Propierty from.. (Ctrl+Shif+A) and Align (Ctrl+A)

Hi Sadeeq,

Hotkeys really speed things up considerably. You can carry your workspace with yourself wherever you go around the globe.
