LibreCAD Keyboard shortcuts

Get the poster

LibreCAD is a free, open-source 2D CAD application. Beyond menus and toolbars, it is driven by a command line where short keycodes invoke tools instantly: type a two-letter command such as LI for line or CI for circle and the tool activates without pressing Enter. These shortcuts cover the most-used drawing, modify, and command-line keycodes alongside standard file and editing keys.
