The problem is, quite bizarrely, that new layer appears behind the current one instead of on top of it. Whereas if you press Command-Option-L, Ctrl-Alt-L on the PC, you get a dialog box, which is what's indicated by this dot, dot, dot. So you don't get to name and color the layer as you create it.

So if I switch to the first page, Command-L or Ctrl-L on the PC makes a new layer, but it doesn't display the dialog box. And you can see, by default, Command-Option-L makes a new layer. I'll go ahead and switch back to page three here. I want you to see what was going on in the past. Now, this Command-Option-L is a very interesting one. When I remapped Command-M to Object, Pattern, Make for the word Make, because I enjoy making patterns so very much, then it seems to be common sense to apply Command-Option-M to editing the pattern.

The letter M doesn't appear anywhere in this. Now, you may look at that and say, that's ridiculous, that totally falls into that category you were just complaining about. Once I gave myself permission to remap all this stuff, for example, Command-Option-M, I set to Object, Pattern, Edit Pattern. Anyway, so there's a little bit of reasoning where some of this stuff is concerned. And if I press it again, it brings them back. So the first time I press the shortcut, the widgets disappear. So much easier just to press Ctrl-Alt-C or Command-Option-C on the Mac, and that's a toggle. If I don't wanna see them, I have to go up the View menu and try to find that command. Whereas if I grab the Rectangle tool and draw a rectangle, and then I switch to the white arrow tool by pressing the A key, notice I've got these corner widgets right here. Thing is, how often are you gonna do that? And do you find Command-Shift or Ctrl-Shift-C to be a memorable shortcut for this effect? Speaking personally, I'm very happy choosing that command manually when I want it. It's like we wrapped the text around a blimp or something. That's the one that used to be Ctrl-Shift or Command-Shift-C. These were the ones that used to have those very different keyboard shortcuts. And then I'll go to the Object menu, choose Envelope Distort. And I'll go ahead and marquee all these items like so. And then I'll go ahead and switch back to my black arrow tool, up here at the top of the toolbox, by pressing the V key. And I'll draw an ellipse that's roughly the size of this little table right here. And then I'll go ahead and grab my Ellipse tool from the Shape tool fly-out menu. That's Command-Shift-Page Down on the Mac. I'm gonna switch to the last page in this document, the one that I'm calling the Old Garbage Page, by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Page Down. Now, let me show you what's going on just in case you might find this interesting. And then if we scroll a couple of pages down here, for Envelope Distort, Make With Warp, we have a totally non-parallel shortcut of Command-Shift-Option-W. We also have Envelope Distort, Make With Mesh with a keyboard shortcut of Command-Option-M.

If we take a look at the Macintosh defaults here, you can see that it's originally assigned to an Envelope Distortion function called Make With Top Object, which doesn't really have much of a C in it, just the second-to-last letter. Now, that's one of those remap shortcuts. All right, so I've assigned Command-Option or Ctrl-Alt-C to hiding and showing the corner widgets inside of a live rectangle. Command is the same as Ctrl on the PC, Option is the same as Alt, and Shift is the exact same thing as Shift. Notice that I've changed Command-Option-C. All right, I'm starting off on page three here because that's where the action really starts. And that's because keyboard shortcuts are all you can modify using Illustrator's keyboard shortcuts command. We're not talking about keyboard-mouse combos, like Alt-clicking or something along those lines. Now, the other thing to bear in mind is these are strictly keyboard equivalents. That's why I'm providing you with this documentation, so you can review it at your leisure and decide what stuff matters most to you. Now, I don't expect you to remember all of these. In this movie, I'll take you on a tour of what I consider to be some of the dekeKeys highlights.
