    Hello, dear inkscapers,Ā 

    How are y'all doing 😌? I use inkscape to draw figures of my math lectures and I find myself doing a lot of repetitive works on styling. So... I have a question about storing a set of frequently used styles and applying them by just click a hot key for it. Some kind of style shortcut manager. I wondering whether it's possible or i need to install some plugins for this.

    For exĀ­amĀ­ple, when I pressĀ sĀ andĀ fĀ siĀ­mulĀ­taĀ­neĀ­ousĀ­ly, my shortĀ­cut manĀ­agĀ­er will apply a solid stroke and a grey fill to the curĀ­rent seĀ­lecĀ­tion. When I want the stroke to be thick, I pressĀ s+f+gĀ toĀ­gethĀ­er, whereĀ gĀ stands for thick (as theĀ tĀ key is hard to reach).

    This way, every styling propĀ­erĀ­ty corĀ­reĀ­sponds to a key:Ā sĀ stands for norĀ­mal stroke,Ā fĀ for gray fill,Ā gĀ for thick,Ā aĀ for arrow,Ā dĀ for dotĀ­ted,Ā eĀ for dashed, etc. H

    Maybe copy&paste style from kind of library outside the page will help (or Symbols)?

    I know one can copy the styles of other objects but what I want is some shortcut manager thing.

    I found a GitHub repo about this but I'm wondering if there's an extension for this so it will support Windows operating system. GitHub: gillescastel/inkscape-shortcut-manager

    Hi, Will8216, while not a "style manager" per se, why not create a collection of your needed objects, and save them as their own template?

    You could build/alter this as you wish and re-save whenever desired.

    You could "house" your needed svgs there and open a separate Inkscape svg file and copy styles back and forth from you template into your seperate, distinct file, applying your styles asĀ needed into you new svg file., just as mentioned above.
