SFE Eagle Shortcuts

This is the the latest spot for SparkFun Keyboard Shortcuts for Eagle

These are the shortcuts that we use at SparkFun to control Eagle. Admittedly, they are setup from a left-handed person's perspective, but they can still be used by a right-handed mouse person.

Windows may freak when it sees a *.scr file. This is because a screen saver file (also *.scr) is a common way for a virus to get into a computer. The SCR files listed below are not viruses. They are just simple text files. If you're paranoid (like we are), you can download the file and open it with Notepad or your favorite text editor. There's nothing there but Eagle specific text commands.
