Does anyone know the shortcut keys for these:

1. How to turn on/off the ‘eye’ icon next to the segments in ‘segment editor’?
2. How to fill in the space when you paint a circle?
3. Shortcut for the ‘Four Up’ key?

Here are some shortcut keys I have found:

1. ‘W’ let’s you go forward on segments when painting/erasing
2. ‘Q’ let’s you go backwards on segments when painting/erasing  
3.‘1’ turns on the paint
3. ‘3’ turns on the eraser

Some keyboard shortcuts for the segment editor module can be found on the [segment editor](http://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/module_segmenteditor.html) documentation page.

The [user interface](http://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/user_interface.html) documentation page also includes information about other available keyboard shortcuts.

Also note that you can define shortcuts to any Slicer functions by adding a couple of lines to your .slicerrc file as shown here: [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/ScriptRepository#Customize\_keyboard\_shortcuts](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/ScriptRepository#Customize_keyboard_shortcuts) (it adds keyboard shortcuts for switching between view layouts).
