After looking at FreeCAD I wanted to wrap up the list of popular free choices before moving to the more exotic ones so Fusion 360 feels like a natural pick.

### Lackluster defaults
Fusion 360 comes with very little keyboard shortcuts... or at least, a lot of mostly useless ones. Shortcuts are shared across the entire application so it seems the Fusion devs haphazardly assigned keys to random functions across the entire application. By "shared" I mean that there is no context to them. Pressing "E" in a sketch (which is what I'd expect trigger a Equal constraint) takes me out of the sketch and into the part workflow as it thinks I want to Extrude.

So what are the constraint shortcuts? There almost aren't any! Distance and Midpoint get one but everything else you have to set yourself. A user in the Autodesk forum pointed out that most SHIFT+key shortcuts are available, but it does mean that you'll have to spend some time setting them up before you can be decently productive at this.
