most programs, Curvy 3D has its share of keyboard shortcuts and
accelerators. The more you learn to use these features, the better and
quicker you'll feel right at home with Curvy. We highly recommend you
explore these shortcuts and techniques they're meant for. Here's a quick look at one of the threads on the Curvy forum that lists important shortcuts: http://www.curvy3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2134 And here's a brief snapshot of what it contains (as of early July 2010 - this list may be updated, so be sure to visit the above link to the forum regularly to learn of new features).
