Found an interesting shortcut in Surveyor... (TS12 build 49922)

Hi Trainzers,

For those who like to take screenshots in Surveyor, but don't want the tabs or the menu bar to spoil their shots, try the following shortcut.

Hold Ctrl down, then press Space (this is usually the long bar at the bottom of the keyboard). The tabs and the menu bar will disappear, and will reappear if you use the same command again.

Note that I've only been able to test this in TS12 build 49922, so it may or may not work in earlier versions.

I can confirm this in Ultimate Trainz Collection and TS2010 build 49938.

So it should be in every version.

Thankyou for the confirmation Kieran.

Thanks Shane. I usually use F5 but that only clears some of the menu items. The CTRL, Space function will be very useful in the future!

Its OK - I happened to stumble across it earlier today.

​Good one Shane!

Very useful.
Thank you.:Y:

PS It works in TRS2004

(BTW, for those who don't already know, F5 is simply the shortcut key for the Tools flyout where a many of the markers won't show. F1 to F7 will operate the other flyouts in the order they appear from the top down).

Isn't it funny that F7 opens the trains tab, and F7 is also a class of diesel locomotive!

You don't get a McLaren or a Ferrari when you press F1 though!

ps Get well soon Cappy!

Best regards
