LOL, the reset all button didn’t make any notice or warning that make me so confused for a minutes of why my tool didn’t work.

My question is it possible to get back my recent shortcut?

sketchup make a warning when we accidently change One shortcut that already been defined before. But make it is so easy to reset the ALL shortcut , no warning at all .

LOL the reset button shouldn’t be in between the recent shortcut and OK button, I used pen tablet and when I tried to click OK, i accidently click Reset All , without even know that I click it. Please make a warning when click “Reset All” please, it’s kinda frustrate that we have to reenter the shortcut again.!

Unless you were Exported before… I don’t think so. ☹

In any case, use this feature in the future.

Anyway, I agree that a warning would be good …

Start another instance of SketchUp **without** closing the current session.  
Then close the one where you lost them.

These settings are **not** tied to the model but saved upon **closing** the ‘instance’ of SketchUp, so the order is important if you have multiple instances open of SketchUp.
