Useful shortcuts

Five March was falling asleep too often, while working on a job.
This is the problem of AFK, the being away from the K-C-omputer.
The person onscreen, without intervention of the other person behind the screen, becomes a sort of zombie, which is rather painful to see.

:-(

Five had to find the shortcut for not becoming a zombie!
So to use another shortcut:
LOL…laughing out loud.

In the beginning of second life Five March found the shortcut to put off the falling asleep without any trouble. But new updates always change the settings of the menu of Second Life somehow. How was it done?
It was to be found somewhere in the Server and Client menu, normally hidden from view…

How to add these menu-items? Search engines didn't return too much information.
As with the EMOTER, it was apparently too easy to write about!
At last in a French site this first shortcut was found: CTRL ALT SHIFT D (what a combination)
Then two items are added in the menu, then:
Client
Character
Character Test
Then:
AFK / Go away when idle, must be unchecked, to avoid the zombie-mode.
(Wasn’t this simple?)

Trying to find the combination Five tried also CTRL 8 and CTRL 0, these combination change the perspective of the camera...it is shown in the menu under VIEW, but somehow Five never used these possibilities. CTRL 9 restores the most normal setting of the perspective.
For images the extreme wide-angle perspective is rather funny, and sometimes even useful, although the rendering becomes extremely slow.
The wheel on the mouse serves also as “zoom”, which is very useful in small spaces.

What a lot of people don’t know is the control of the light: CTRL SHIFT Y for: midday, for instance, other possibilities without shortcuts are situated at under the Menu WORLD, Force Sun, and then a list: Midday, midnight, and daybreak….

Very often Five, as a blog reporter, takes pictures, snapshots, CTRL ~ is the shortcut for this. These pictures appear in .bmp format which eats rather a lot of memory space, to Five uses a free programm: Easy Thumbnails to put the format in JPG.

Very good in building is the possibility to make copies from a selected object by selecting it and then dragging it away while pressing the SHIFT button, it stays on the same axes as you are dragging it!

Ok
LOL
Have Fun!
