If you want to change the shortcut for the Select tool, which is represented by the letter “V”.

You can adjust each of these shortcuts to suit your needs. You can access this list by clicking the Shortcut symbol near the bottom. Which you can view in the menu or the Preferences. Pencil2D has shortcuts for the majority of its tasks. To do that, you might switch back and forth between the Pencil and Eraser tools. You frequently require the same things done when animating. You can see that this is useless in the next example. If you click this button on the timeline, the onion skin will display the previous and following frames rather than keyframes. Here is an example of a straightforward ball animation with red and blue onion skin. Here, you may also choose to make the following drawings blue and the prior drawings red. Onion skin has an on/off button in the Display Options dock. A reasonable range to choose from seems to be 15% to 50%. But we advise that you just select one or two. We can see up to 60 keyframes as onion skin. We can customize the number of drawings to display and their transparency in the Preferences. Onion skin is the ability to observe the prior and/or following keyframes. You can enable or disable onion skin to aid in the pencil2D animation process.

Now, a new key-frame will be generated on each blank frame you select and begin painting on. You select the first option, “Create a new key-frame,” though it reads “When drawing on an empty frame:”. You don’t have to press Add key-frame each time you want a new key-frame if you don’t want to.

You have successfully created your first animation when you click the Play icon. Just a little to the right of the second one, draw a tiny circle. To the right of the first circle, make a smaller one.
