CorelDRAW X3 No KeyboaRD shortcut for Pick Tool??

No KeyboaRD shortcut for Pick Tool??

Just had to do complete wipe & reinstall of Windows, Corel etc etc.
Please pardon my cynicism again and berate me if it is due BUT It appears that the most important tool PICK doesn't even have a shortcut key.wtf?
I could have sworn it was 'v' before the crash. PP has 'O'
But wait, it gets better, there is no entry in Customization for keyboard shortcut for Pick Tool.
Unless the most recent updates decided that it made too much sense and had to get rid of it?? NNnnnyyyaaaww??
This can't be true.
Please someone tell me that I have missed something here. April fools? maybe all month??

Hi,

Respectfully, I don't know why you're so pissed off. And yes, I think you missed the fact the isn't no keyboard shortcut assigned to the PICK TOOL. At least, I don't remember CorelDRAW ever having a keyboard shortcut for this tool. Personnaly, I've been customizing it since version 11 (When I dicovered I could do it).

So, in Customization for the keyboard shortcut, there's nothing there...you're right! But wait, it gets better...Just type in the keyboard shortcut of you're choice! And tadaaaaaaa! It works perfectly! If it doesn't work, can you send a PRINT SCREEN of your OPTIONS dialog box? There's probably a glitch with YOUR version...

Sorry, if I'm rephrasing you, but I think before being demonstrating your anger and juging a hard working development team like they don't know heck about programming, simply asking for help can also do the trick...Many people on this forum can help...

You have a point, OK, it's the spacebar, but why do you have to go to an online forum to ask such a basic question.?
Go and type Pick into the Help menu you will get nothing on the shortcut key. Not a good start.
Even aweful Microsoft Office has the Keystokes .
And there are loads of searches I have done for really common words but found the answer 20 minutes later under a complete different term.

The fact that they are quite an academic lot at Corel, is more reason that bleedingly obvious things seem more ridiculous.

Maybe CD works well for you, but I have nothing but problems, but I'll give it a try for a while longer, and see if things get better, but from my experience (so far) I think you being very generous in your praise.
Thanks for the input Tetrodesign guy.
