      I was looking into how to draw a centered ellipse and the documentation says "Hold the Control key to draw a centered ellipse." that does not work on the mac keyboard, because it gives me equivalent of the mouse right-click sub menu. What is the equivalent modifier key for the mac? Thanks!

      EDIT: ok I figured out it requires the Shift-Control for mac -

        @Boldline Shift+Control pressed after the drawing starts. Otherwise Control opens the menu.

          @vectoradmin Thanks! When the online documentation is updated again, could we add a "(Shift-control on Mac)" to that instruction and in other applicable places?

            @vectoradmin By the way, loving the control I have with the shapes panel. VS gives me so much freedom and control
