Here are some of the top Altium Designer hotkeys that really speed up Interactive Routing and help you work efficiently with Net Constraints for IPC-compliant PCB designs:
Ctrl+W starts interactive routing, and Shift+W lets you quickly pick your routing width based on your net constraints.
Shift+Spacebar cycles through corner modes (like 45°, arc, etc.), and Shift+R switches routing conflict resolution modes on the fly.
Use + or \ on the numeric keypad to switch to the next signal layer and drop a via, or Ctrl+L to open a list of layers and jump directly to the one you want.
Backspace rips up the last segment, and Ctrl+Click attempts to auto-complete a route—super handy for quick net completion.
While routing, hit Shift+F1 or the tilde (~) key to see a pop-up of all available shortcuts for your current task.

Using these shortcuts together with well-defined width and clearance rules ensures your routing stays fast, precise, and always within IPC standards.
