EasyEDA Standard vs Pro: Shortcut Cheat Sheet

EasyEDA Standard and EasyEDA Pro share several shortcuts, but some actions behave differently between the editors. Shortcuts can also be changed in settings, so check your active keymap if a key does nothing.

Update: EasyEDA Pro supports different shortcut styles. With Standard hotkeys selected in Pro, press W in the PCB editor to start drawing a track; in Pro hotkey style, the documented shortcut is Alt+W. The Standard editor also uses W for PCB track routing.

Important Pro net-name difference

In EasyEDA Pro, a net label is the wire’s name property. Select the wire and edit Name in Properties, or double-click the displayed net name. If Global Net Name is set, check that too. Renaming a connected wire can affect connected branches, so verify the resulting nets before updating or ordering a PCB.
