Do you mean the clicking S once the dialogue box is UP?
Any letter underlined in any command box is the key to toggle that option.
If your asking what the command options do, then help would …
No, if I I enter
InterpCrv
I get something that looks like what you have in the sidebar.
There is a “Start Tangent” button with the ess underlined (similar to your picture). This suggests a keyboard sequence will have the same effect as clicking on the button.
However, I cannot find any key sequence that invokes it. , , do not trigger it.
My question then is:
InterpCrv does this; Fit a curve through picked locations.
Most commands have options.
In this command the Start Tangent is just an OPTION within the command. It is activated by the letter that is underlined, Ess. This means if you press “S” the first point you pick on the existing cute to Interpret will be tangent to that curve.
There is no Keyboards sequence, the S is an OPTION within the command. In this command you have to pick “Places” or points on an existing curve.
If for example I run the Line command. I have options that I can pick by clicking a button or pressing the key that corresponds to that option
If I click “Both Sides” button or I press “B” on my keyboard, this means my Line command will start from the Mid-point of my line and I can then draw my line out from there, in opposite directions, hence I am drawing my line on Both Sides of it’s midpoint.
No Sequence, just an option for how I will draw my Line.

Yes, correct, oversight on my part.

Thank, another one for my Rhino notes file.
@bigjimslade: You’ll find that if your thumb basically sets up residence on the space-bar
while you’re working, this is a big time-saver.
Space-bar
functions as Enter
for most operations. As you’ve discovered above, in mid-routine, you just type the underlined letter, then Enter
to select that option. Space-bar
also works to accept a highlighted default prompt.
(Well, Space-bar
is supposed to work. You’ll find a number of instances still littered about in MacRhino where this doesn’t work as expected, in which case RMB often works to accept things where the space-bar won’t. Endearing feature not a bug?!).
