how to Insert multiple classes ?

[kenneth.nielsen]

Hi all,
I'm getting a bit tired of having to select what type of element I want to insert in a diagram every time i want to insert fx. a class, or something else.
is there a way wich you can make your last selected element type the one you insert again?
it propably is just my lazyness, but i haven't found it described in the help.

thanks in advance.

Shift-F3... and F3 gives you 'repeat last connector'.

No, it's not.. but if you search on 'Keyboard Shortcuts', you'll see the not-so-obvious key combination shortcuts.

Ctrl+left click also gives you the last used element.

Hitting Spacebar on a diagram also gives you a context menu version of the toolbox. I find that is faster.

The Spacebar is a nice option. I didn't know of it.

Even nicer would be if one could select an element by typing a letter just after pressing the spacebar.

ctrl + click was it. ( Could i suggest that it was an option on diagrams, that you could change a setting so it always interpret a diagram click as a ctrl click ?)

Perhaps something along the lines of control-drag? This way you could reset the option.

It would likely have to be global, since otherwise it would be easy to lose track of which diagrams had which rule.
