My w key isn't bringing up shorcuts

When I press w to simplify it just seems to cycle through different selection methods (circle, box, lasso) instead of bringing up the specials selection menu. I'm using the latest 2.8 beta and afaik I haven't changed any settings, any suggestions?

Also what's the new deal with the curve tool? I've been playing around with it a little after hearing you mention it in the video.

    Hi Colin,

    Blender 2.8 will change the hotkeys depending on your user preferences.  I think I explained the settings I used at the start of the video.  (I'm 99% sure these are the settings I used)

    If you are using Left Click Select, I think the specials menu comes up with the Right mouse Button.

    You can always search for the tool with F3 (which doesn't change) 


    I will have to do a bunch of videos to show all the features and tools, but we need to wait until they stop adding and changing them.  But as soon as they do, I will try my best to explain how EVERYTHING works...gulp.

    Ah, you did mention that in the video. Thanks Wayne. 

    I'm really enjoying the 2.8 grease pencil animation tutorials, thanks for making them.
