Nice list Speedwolf, quite useful to know the keys. It also answers how I was in the editor once and I had a whole train the size of like the Titanic and had no idea how i did it

Really good stuff to know. When I first started, I just started pressing buttons and hoping they did something.

[SpeedWolf]

my laptop have the option for me to use the number pad but if your laptop don't have a option to use a number pad.

you will have to buy a USB number pad' they is no way around it as far as i know.

usually if you hit the Fn key and look carefully there'll be a numpad on the keyboard in Blue
