I’d like to be able to do something like Ctrl-L to lock the size and position of selected objects. I can’t find a keyboard shortcut for this.

Hi Romuel! Thanks for your question. Lucidchart has a few keyboard shortcuts to facilitate object manipulation, including options for copying, zooming, and text editing. A full list of these shortcuts can be found at here. Currently, a dedicated shortcut for locking objects is not supported within Lucidchart. But Lucid values user feedback and requests! To submit a feature request, first search the Product Feedback section of the community forum, utilizing the "Idea" filter. If a similar request exists, please contribute your additional details and upvote the existing submission. By grouping similar feedback together, Lucid can better understand what features users really want and how popular those features are. If a shortcut for locking objects has not already been requested, create a new submission, including details about your use case and desired functionality. This allows other users with similar needs to discover and support your request. For further information on how Lucidchart manages community feedback, please refer to this page. Good luck!

+1 for needing key commands for lock/unlock. You’ve really buried this feature. Coming to a Lucid org from a Miro org, I’m missing the depth of key commands for rapid work.

Hi @Sylvia X the use case is:

As a LucidSpark user,
I want to be able to quickly lock items with a simple key command like [ctrl]+[L],
So that I don’t have to 1) click the item, wait for its menu bar to open, then locate and click the lock/unlock icon, or, 2) right click the item, hover over Lock/Unlock, wait for that to slide out to a nested menu, and then click one of the available lock options.

It’s just tedious.

You have key commands for nearly everything else. Why not this? Hurts your cross-platform conversion.
