Enter key to start takeoff is no longer working

I have to move my mouse down the the 'start takeoff' button at the bottom of the form whereas before I would just hit the enter key and was good to go. Please fix this is a big time saver.

Hi Derek,


I never used the Enter Button the Hotkey is CTRL + S HOPE THIS HELPS

Thanks, Sam! Also, another hot key is Ctrl + Enter.

Question, instead of hitting the little green dot that all you planswift nerds are use too, is there a way to start the takeoff without hitting that dot? For example if I click on the line item and its selected one would assume there is a hot key to engage?

@Kyle I like that. I'll discuss with the team and we'll add a hotkey. Maybe Enter or Space? Currently "N" works if you selected something on the page, so "N" may be the right one.

Love the "N" key, I use that all the time. Be great if I could also hit "N" when i select the side panel and start, us OST users are use to hitting a takeoff item on the right panel and just starting. I can't tell you how many times I go to the right panel, select the takeoff item, then go try to do takeoff and get annoyed I have to go all the way back to hit that little hidden green dot that requires crazy dexterity just to start.


In a perfect world, why not click the takeoff item once and you are doing takeoff vs the friction of the green/red dot. If I don't win that and we get the "N" key to start I'm happy tho :).

Sounds good. We can add the "N" hotkey as a start. One concern with starting takeoff instantly when you click the takeoff in the sidebar, is that you possibly might be just selecting it to drag/drop it or do something else with it (just selecting it).

Good point, we could not drag and drop in OST, so that is a great point on why there needs to be a bit of friction. Awesome eNgage!
