Almost every function of PusaSlicer can be accessed via a keyboard shortcut. In addition to that, many functions have an alternative mode that can be accessed with a modifier key. They are a great time-saver and we suggest learning keyboard shortcuts at least for the most commonly used tools, such as the Move M, Rotate R and Scale S tools.
The list of all keyboard shortcuts can be displayed in the Help – Keyboard shortcuts window (or by pressing Shift+?).
Alternatively, you can hover over a tool icon and the keyboard shortcut will be displayed after a short delay.

When iterating, it's often the one thing I change the most and a shortcut would make it much more efficient.
a key like 'tab' would be gret to switch back and fourth between 3D editor view and Preview.
Thank you for PrusaSlicer and the Prusa 3d printers (and, of course, Prusa's support folks).
