In the online documentation it states that “alt-C” is the shortcut for the “close path” command. However, in the menu item there is no actual shortcut assigned to close path and of course Alt-C does not work. Was the shortcut removed?
Yes, recently removed it because we found it was a common key in one of the non-English languages. (As in, it was a key press used to make an accented C character, and it kept causing that function to trigger) Documentation will need an update, so thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Our longer-term goal is to provide a ‘Hotkey Editor’ which would allow users to adjust our standard hotkey assignments to fit their needs without conflict, but this will take some time.
