back-tick (`) goes to the previous zoom (like undo).

Keep pressing it until you’re back at the selection tool with nothing selected.

Escape will change tools and/or deselect.

The following are ones that I use frequently. Most hotkeys can be seen in the menus, or hovering over buttons on the interface.

ctrl+g groups objects, shift+ctrl+g ungroups.

Often, Shift is used as a secondary modifier for opposite behaviour. For example, horizontal/vertical lines and moves, 45-degree rotation, and aspect-ratio locked scaling. This will often force more “regular” shapes/orientations. Right-clicks and middle-clicks will also have different behaviours.Ī notable modifier key is Ctrl (^). Note: if something is already selected, alt+drag moves the object. For example, with the selector tool, shift+click adds to the selection, Alt+Drag does a path-selection instead of rectangle, and shift+alt+drag adds to the current selection with a path-selection.

Most tools have different behaviour when a modifier key is held down. The other tricky part is that it’s optimized for keyboard and mouse. panels, typically hidden, but on the right when shown

General toolbar (save, copy, group, show panels), maybe top or right.

Tool-specific options, typically top-left.

Instead, here are the important things to notice (in order of importance): In fact, it’s so crowded, I don’t think it will help much to include a screenshot. The interface of inkscape tends to be quite crowded, so it can be overwhelming when you first open the application. Inkscape is the most mature, and most cross-platform vector graphics program.

you can open and change it in the future.

When it comes down to practice, the reasons are basically:

There are all sorts of philosophical reasons for opening source code and toolsets, and others for opening up content created. The difference is noticeable once we try to zoom in, or view it at higher resolutions. Notice how at its regular size, all copies look the same for screen/printing resolutions lower than 96dpi. This has to be done to display it (in editors, browsers, print, etc.), but preferably as a last step. A rasterisation is the conversion of a vector-graphics format to bitmap. In general, diagrams are usually best made in a vector format, while photo-realistic images or paintings are better served with bitmaps.
