Is it not possible to have a hotkey for Horizontal Ray? I only draw two lines, Alt-6 regular Ray's, and Horizontal Ray's.

In NT you can set hot keys in Control Center - Tools - Hot Key Manager.

I think you are right, which sucks. Like 40 hot keys total, and 50% of the ones I want to use don't have a hotkey

Many SC users use AutoHotKey to create their own.

Just got word the next build will have a hotkey for the Horizontal Ray

I love the frequent builds of Sierra. And I love how you can choose what release channel you want, stable or developer. Chrome and Firefox use the same approach, and I think it is a success. I hope others adopt this.
