Changing track width on the fly [SOLVED]

Layout
1

I know I can set up different track sizes and change it using the dropdown menu in the upper left corner, but I am huge fan of keyboard shortcuts. Is there a way to change the track width on the fly using keyboard shortcuts?

pcbnew > preferences > hotkeys > edit hotkeys / list current hotkeys

in KiCAD r6097 there is a hotkey option for what you want [Ctrl]+[W] and [W]

Thank you kindly, I guess I just overlooked it.

Hi Guys,

I have the 2013 stable version, and the track width changing is not working… only the netclass width is applied, tried the hotkeys too, dropdown… I am missing something here?

I added the new widths in the design rule editor, but the drop down shows just the default netclass…

Meantime solved it… have to add it to the global design rules…

Best regards,
Laszlo
