F Fillet tool cuts away lines similar to the trim tool

To use the fillet tool I used the shortcut “F” and pressed enter. This is a simpler and quicker way to cut away lines like the trim tool by selecting both lines, it will then automatically cut away the access.

Esc cancels command

I drew the shape using the line, trim, offset and fillet tool.
