Graphic designers who skillfully use Adobe Illustrator would learn to use a wide variety of keyboard shortcuts to streamline their work.

On the other hand, I believe that it is sufficient to be able to use only limited functions if you use Illustrator for weaving design.

In this article, I would like to introduce keyboard shortcuts that will greatly facilitate your weaving design work if you remember them.

Of the commands in the File menu, the most commonly used are Open, Save, Save As, and Print.

The shortcuts for these are shown in the table below:

Among the commands in the Edit menu, the following four are worth remembering:

Next is the Object menu. I recommend you remember the “Transform Again” shortcut because I use it so many times.

In addition, I have listed three more. If you use the “Lock” and “Unlock” functions frequently, it is useful to remember them.

The only shortcut to remember out of the Select menu is this “Select All”.

Here are the two most important View menu commands to remember.

If the artboard is too large or too small while you are working, you can quickly check the entire image by using these shortcuts to display it in actual size or as a whole, rather than having to switch to the zoom tool and zoom in or out every time you want to view it.

Finally, there are shortcuts for quick selection of frequently used tools.

Also, be sure to remember “Shift-click,” which is used when you want to select multiple objects during object selection.

Keyboard shortcuts make working in Illustrator easier. Try to learn them little by little.

I hope the above information is helpful.

Thank you for reading to the end!
