You have added to my arsenal!
I was a big fan of Mouse Gestures when I discovered them.
NOW, I've added the shortcut bar to my mouse gestures! I don't even have to touch the keyboard!

I'm getting tired of almost 1 week of designing our machine for thesis so I'm looking for shortcuts. I wish I found out about this shortcut key sooner. My life would've been easier. Thank youu!!!💜

S key is a real time saver and it even gets better if you put it on mouse gesture donut.

[subramanianas]

S is a superpower shortcut key for all segments in the SOLIDWORKS tool. Thank you so much for your knowledge and effort! I learned a lot from this tutorial!

[dohman]

I was unaware of the S key until I caught it in another video of yours. Good stuff man!!

[henrywight]

Toby, you are really helping me accelerate my learning.

S is for Super! ;) I love this feature in SW. Great video!

For my money, one of the best features to put on your sketch-mode S-key is an extruded boss (or extruded cut) command, as you had it here. Skip the middle man and go straight to the feature you're most likely to use it for.

Hey, It was exactly the best shortcut ever on SolidWorks which I was looking for as a fast user! Great job mate.

I've been using the S-key for years. I have absolutely no toolbars cluttering up my screen, and have maximized my work area. I've got all my commonly used commands in my S-key. My coworkers don't know what to do if they sit down at my computer and need to do something.
Of course, in the same vein, It takes me a bit to find commands in the standard toolbars if I'm on someone else's computer also.

S key is great, a real time saver. Great video Toby, as always! Thanks!

S key is powerful tool. And with the use of a space mouse, you are even more powerful.

I was told about mouse gestures before I knew about the s key so I have that set up, but it seems to have a bit of a lag sometimes. I definitely need to force myself to use the s key to make myself faster. muscle memory.

Thanks Toby, I start using The S KEY ;) and I saw you have many templates can you share some templates too? or maybe you have done before?! if yes I'll be glad to know

[mohammadshakibapour]

Very useful and amazing Video.thank you for sharing all the good information with us !

Hey Toby!! Did you make it to 'World' this year? I didn't see your usual session, but it looks like they used a picture of you on the main page of the event. Also, if you're a little short on cash, and only have the 2 button Spacemouse, you can map the S key to one of them and it's almost as useful as the more expensive versions of the Spacemouses (Spacemice?😁).

I noticed when you exited sketch mode to switch to feature mode, your sketch profile stayed highlighted. When I do the same, my sketch turns gray and the only way to get feature mode to work is to click the sketch in the feature tree or the sketch profile on the plane. If I don't pick the sketch profile first, feature mode short cut does come up, and when I pick an extrude feature, it prompts me to pick a plane to draw a sketch on or pick an existing sketch. How do I get my sketch to stay highlighted when exiting sketch? Thanks. I'm running SW Premium 2020 SP5.0
Edit: adding the features to the sketch shortcut does work.

I cant jump from a sketch mode to Boss Extrude without exiting the sketch, the icon is there in my S Key menu, but its inactive

[gertkristensen]
