In the past year I researched in depth the various ways one could "talk" to SOLIDWORKS, in order to develop a simple procedure that would meet the following objectives:

1. Is one of the most efficient ways of using the interface, reducing the mouse movement for a typical user from 2-3 km/ day to 250 m/ day.
2. Keeps the user's eyes focused on the model and not hunting for icons or menu items on the screen or for keys on the keyboard.
3. Is easy to learn and master by beginners

When I thought that I got everything figured out, SOLIDWORKS 2016 decided to bring in the breadcrumbs and the amazing "D"-key. Now, what can I say? My technique got another 20% speed boost.

Just amazing stuff!!! Could anyone tell us the name of the person who came with the idea for the breadcrumbs+D combo? This person deserves our respect, admiration and a few hundred thousand dollars via a crowdfunding campaign, as a thank you from the SOLIDWORKS Community.
