I have a very basic problem that - as simple as it seems - I cannot solve:
I am looking for a keyboard shortcut to show a sketch "flat", i.e. rotated so that its plane coincides with the screen. Basically the view one gets when one opens the sketch. I tried HOME and several shortcuts found in the view menu, but none seems to do the trick.
(of course one could use a standard view for sketches in XY, XZ etc. In my case the sketch is in a datum plane that is "at an angle", so that this does not work)
I guess I should add that I use the 0.20.1 AppImage.

Re: key to show sketch plane
I'm presuming your not in Sketch edit mode from your post.
Goto Edit->Preferences->Sketcher->Display, uncheck Restore camera position after edit and click Apply to existing sketches. Now when you close the sketch the view will stay the same.

The View sketch tool.
Shortcut keys are shown as Q P when you hover over the icon. Or, in the Sketch menu>View sketch.
