Keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut exposed in the editor. Mac and Windows variants listed where they differ.

Every shortcut the editor exposes, grouped by what you are doing. Where a shortcut differs by platform, the Windows form is listed first and the macOS form second.

The in-app Keyboard Shortcuts panel, listing Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Frame Selected on F, Move Camera Inside Selected on G, Edit Origin on O, and the camera controls

Open the in-app shortcuts panel directly with the help icon in the top-right of the editor. This page is the lookup-friendly reference.

Snapping is Ctrl on both platforms. On a Mac that is the Control key, not ⌘. It is one of the few bindings that does not swap: the editor watches the Ctrl key itself here rather than routing through the command map that maps Ctrl to ⌘ everywhere else.

Populator

Action	Shortcut
Separate populator objects	double-click

Limits and known issues

• Shortcuts are not customizable. Remapping isn't exposed in the UI; the keybindings are fixed.
• Some shortcuts may overlap with browser defaults. Cmd+W will close the tab; Cmd+R will reload. The product avoids those, but some browsers and OS combinations have edge cases.
• Game controller bindings for camera control in Compose mode live on the Camera controls page rather than here.
