had and tell you are what's in there basically
so the for Sun we've got here and if you have the default if you high or
if you are stay highlighted over a hovered over
a tool it's gonna pop up with the name other to land in its hockey
now hockey is when you press a button on the keyboard it'll automatically switch
that tool
so the hockey for selection tools the the hockey for direct selection tools a
now if you watch my cursor here if I press a right now
going to switch back and forth
allows in ass by accident so here's a
and here's be a be and you can see that is changing between
selection tool and the Direct Selection Tool now under the direction agent or
you can see on the bottom right that there's this little white a row in the
corner
that means that you can click and hold and then there's gonna be other tools
and balked
so it got direction action to land group selection tool
here we've got the magic Wand Tool
and

that we get an idea where everything is and
you have an ideal world tools are
now when you're getting paid in starting to get paid by clients and staff

that
see gonna wanna learn your hockey's no good way to learn hockey's
for program is to find a wallpaper
their has the hockey is listed for you
so they're always in your face or print up the iraqis
and put a thumbtack into it and put on your wall
or somewhere we can see em so that the iraqis are always there for you and then
you got quick reference
you wanna get use to Guinea's hockey's done because that's how you become a
better artist
a lotta clients say like things done faster
and to get things done really fast hockey's
are the quickest way another way to get things done fast obviously is knowing
your way around the program and knowing how to solve different problems
