On page https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Sketcher_Move, it states:
Move the mouse in the 3D view to the desired location.
By keeping Shift pressed, the angle to the location can be fixed in steps of 5°. introduced in version 0.20
This is incorrect, it is the Ctrl key that fixes the angle.
And what is the purpose of the ° at the end of the tool tip?

Thanks for the info, I changed the wiki. The angle has probably been forgotten. You can create a ticket on Github for it to be not forgotten.

It appears to be a regression when deg was changed to the symbol for degrees, it works fine when creating a hexagon but none of the Copy, Clone, Move commands shows the angle correctly. The commit that I believe caused the regression is git commit dd14b42
@wandererfan could you please check if I'm on the right track and let me know if you've a quick fix, TIA.

I lost track of where this post was. git commit a810fa68b4 should fix it.
Re: Sketcher Move Wiki incorrect key referenced
Excellent, tested successfully, thanks for the quick fix.
