TIP: Dont forget, you can also create your own


keyboard shortcuts. Go to Window -> Preferences ->
Shortcuts -> and specify your own shortcuts for tools
you use most often. Write in your own shortcuts for
the tools that dont have any. I like to use (X) to hide
the rest of the model when Im editing a component,
and (N) to hide the selected entity.
