Datasheet

You can access any of the tools from your keyboard by pressing the shortcut
key noted in Table 1-3. As you go through the table, you’ll notice that some
tools share the same shortcut. That allows you to cycle quickly through these
similar tools by pressing the shortcut key multiple times. For example, you
would press the P to select the Pen tool, press P again to select the Pencil
tool, and P once more to select the Marker tool. To go back to the Pen tool
simply press P again.
