Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.29177 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.20)

PAD operation fails. Have created 3 separate sketches, and they all bog down on the PAD function.

- repeatedly ending up with an empty body copy and PAD failures with no resolution
- want to understand what went wrong
- want to understand how to correct/avoid/troubleshoot status

Other items:
- Mac shortcut keys don't work
- no apparent way to diagnose what went wrong with the PAD failure
- might be nice if there was a built in verification process that caught this error and suggested a fix
- better error messages
- can't figure out how to turn the YZ_plane002 markings off.
- GUI - context switching with every keystroke or mouse click is awful. Sometimes I want to try 4 or 5 things without having to work my way back to the starting point each time

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Your first sketch is empty, your second one contains only construction geometry. Use Sketcher ToggleConstructionto switch to real geometry.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

be more specific, what doesn't work?
- no apparent way to diagnose what went wrong with the PAD failure
There is Sketcher_ValidateSketch but I'm not sure if it would have been useful here since your sketch only had construction geometry.
- can't figure out how to turn the YZ_plane002 markings off.
select the plane and hit spacebar
- GUI - context switching with every keystroke or mouse click is awful. Sometimes I want to try 4 or 5 things without having to work my way back to the starting point each time
It's not clear what you mean here, please elaborate
