Thursday Tip: Space Bar Toggle

November 20, 2008

The Spacebar in CorelDRAW has always had a special meaning hidden beneath the surface. Pressing the Spacebar will switch between the currently selected tool and the Pick tool. If the Pick tool is selected, then the Spacebar switches back to the last used tool. Now things change a bit when the Text tool is selected. If you simply press the Spacebar, it gives you a space in your text. So use Ctrl + Spacebar to switch back to the Pick tool. You’ll only need the Spacebar to get back to the Text tool.
