# Editor Settings and Hotkeys


## Editor Settings


The *Editor* section of the *Settings* window displays general settings of the [UnigineEditor](../../../editor2/index.md).


> **Notice:** To configure the editor settings, open the *Settings* window by choosing *Window → Settings* in the main menu and select the *Editor* section.


The following window will open:

*Editor Settings window*


### User Settings


| Cache Directory | Contains the path to the directory that stores the editor cache. |
|---|---|
| Terrain Compression Cache | Contains the path to the directory that stores the Terrain cache. |
| Auto Open Last World | Automatically open the recently closed world on UnigineEditor start. |
| Always Show Auto-Generated Parameters | Toggles on and off permanent displaying of automatically generated parameters. |
| Use GPU Texture Compression | Toggles on and off GPU texture compression. |
| Precompile All Shaders | Toggles precompilation of all shaders on and off. This is an important features guaranteeing that at the time your project is complete and final builds are ready to be handed over to the customer you have a complete shader cache. This significally reduces the number of freezes in the final release build and equalizes your application framerate. Shaders are precompiled for all materials in the project. |
| Keep Running in Background | If enabled, UnigineEditor keeps running in the background, when minimized or is not in focus. |
| Show Tooltips | Toggles displaying of tooltips on hovering UI elements on and off. |
| Migration Enabled | Enables automatic upgrading for outdated assets added to your project to the current SDK version. Upgrade is performed automatically in the following cases: - When importing an outdated asset via the Asset Browser. - When importing a package with an outdated asset. - When copying an outdated asset to the project's `data` folder. If UnigineEditor is not running, assets will be upgraded during the next launch. |
| Migration Directory | Path to the Migration Directory, a temporary folder for the outdated assets. Outdated assets are copied into this folder and processed by the upgrade script. Upon successful completion of the process upgraded assets replace the original ones. > **Notice:** The only way to upgrade assets stored in a mount point via UnigineEditor is to add this mount point to the project when the editor is not running. In this case, the assets will be upgraded on the next launch. However, it is recommended to upgrade assets inside mount points manually by using the `upgrade.usc` script. |
| Ask To Save The World Each Time When Clicking Play | If enabled, UnigineEditor asks whether to save the world every time you click the Play button. |
| Ask To Save The World Each Time When Enabling Physics Simulation | If enabled, UnigineEditor asks whether to save the world every time you click the Physics Simulation button. |


### Project Settings


| Reset Time For Nodes To Zero On World Saving | Enables resetting current animation or playback time for certain nodes (*SoundSource, ObjectWaterGlobal, WorldTransformPath, ObjectMeshSkinned, ObjectCloudLayer*) to zero when saving a world (current values are restored after saving). This helps eliminate the problem with large diffs generated by version control systems in case of saving a world after opening it in the Editor and simply playing skinned mesh animations, sounds, or just having particles, water, and clouds simulation enabled. |
|---|---|
| User Extensions of Text Files for Dependency Search | List here custom file extensions to make sure that your files with such extentions are included into the dependency search performed by the [Cleaner](../../../editor2/cleaner/index.md) tool. |


#### Default Settings For Node Creation


This section specifies the default status of the following parameters at the node creation.


| Immovable | Default value for the [Immovable](../../../editor2/node_parameters/transformation_common/index.md#clutter) parameter. |
|---|---|
| Lightmaps | Default value for the [Lightmaps](../../../editor2/node_parameters/visual_representation/index.md#surface_lightmaps) parameter of the surface. |
| Intersection | Default value for the [Intersection](../../../editor2/node_parameters/physics/index.md#surface_intersection) parameter of the surface. |
| Collision | Default value for the [Collision](../../../editor2/node_parameters/physics/index.md#surface_collision) parameter of the surface. |
| Physics Intersection | Default value for the [Physics Intersection](../../../editor2/node_parameters/physics/index.md#surface_physics_intersection) parameter of the surface. |


### User Project Settings


| Suggest to Disable Windows Defender | Enables the automatic pop-up that suggests disabling Windows Defender (Microsoft Defender) checks of your project `data/` folder if UnigineEditor startup takes too much time. |
|---|---|
| Editable Base Materials | Allows editing of base materials via the Editor unless [editing](../../../code/formats/materials_formats/user_material_format.md#material_editable) is prohibited for them. Disabled by default. |


## Editor Hotkeys


The *Hotkeys* section of the *Settings* window displays all hotkeys and key combinations that are used in the [UnigineEditor](../../../editor2/index.md) and provides you with an opportunity to assign custom hotkeys and key combinations for the required action.


> **Notice:** To configure hotkeys, open the *Settings* window by choosing *Window → Settings* in the main menu and select the *Hotkeys* section.


The following window will open:


![](hotkey_settings_window.png)

*Components of the Hotkeys Settings window*


Each action is represented by a key or a key combination. ***Ctrl, Alt, Shift***, and ***mouse buttons*** are used as modifiers for the key bindings. Some actions can be represented by the modifiers only.


> **Notice:** The mouse buttons can be used as the modifiers only for some actions.


The controls are stored in a *preset*. There are 2 types of presets that are used in UnigineEditor:


- [Built-in presets](#default_presets)
- [Custom user presets](#custom_presets)


### Using Built-in Presets


> **Notice:** A built-in preset can be used as the basis of a custom preset.


![](controls_presets.png)

*List of built-in presets*


There are 3 built-in presets:


| UNIGINE�2 | The main preset. Hot keys and key combinations that are used in this preset are usual for many 3D editors, for example, 3D-Coat, Maya, Marmoset, Unreal Engine, Unity, and so on. |
|---|---|
| UNIGINE�2�QWERTZ | This preset contains hotkeys and key combinations for QWERTZ keyboards. |
| 3ds Max | This preset contains hotkeys and key combinations that are used in 3ds Max. |


> **Notice:** You cannot change a built-in preset. Only [custom presets](#custom_presets) can be modified.


If you change the default hotkey or key combination, or clear the binding, you will be offered to save your modifications to a [custom preset](#custom_presets).


Such approach allows you to go back to using the built-in preset at any time.


### Creating Custom Presets


Custom presets are necessary when you want to change some hotkeys (or key combinations) and save these changes.


You can create a custom preset by creating a copy of one of the built-in presets. To create a custom preset:


1. Choose the built-in preset, on which a new preset will be based, and click *Save as..*. ![](choose_default_preset.png)
2. Specify the name for the new preset in the window that opens and click *OK*: ![](create_preset.png)
3. In the *Save Preset As* file dialog window that opens, specify the name of the `*.preset` file and where to save it.
4. Click *Save*. The new preset will be set as the current one.


The new custom preset will contain all the hotkeys and key combinations of the built-in preset. You can modify the key combinations for any necessary actions:


1. Click the key binding you want to change.
2. Press a new key or key combination, or click *Clear binding*. ![](assign_new_key.png)


### Default Editor Hotkeys


This section lists the default keyboard and mouse shortcuts of UnigineEditor, as shipped in the **UNIGINE 2** controls preset. The shortcuts are grouped exactly as they appear on the *Hotkeys* settings page.


The editor also ships the **UNIGINE 2 QWERTZ**, **UNIGINE 2 AZERTY** and **3ds Max** presets, and can switch preset automatically to match your keyboard layout. To change a preset, rebind an action, or save your own preset, see *[Using Built-in Presets](#default_presets)* and *[Creating Custom Presets](#custom_presets)*.


Notation used in the tables below:


- **LMB**, **MMB**, **RMB** - left, middle and right mouse button.
- **Wheel Up** / **Wheel Down** - mouse wheel scrolling.
- **Unassigned** - the action exists and can be bound to a key of your choice, but has no default shortcut.


> **Notice:** Modifiers are listed in the same order the editor displays them, so an entry here matches the corresponding row on the *Hotkeys* settings page exactly.


#### Common


**Common**


| Unassigned | **Quit Editor** Closes UnigineEditor. If the loaded world has unsaved changes, a dialog offering to save them is displayed before the editor quits. |
|---|---|
| F5 | **Start Instance** Launches the project in a separate application instance using the launch preset currently selected in the toolbar. Available only when the C# Component System is initialized for the project. |


**Selection**


| Esc | **Reset Selection** Clears the current editor selection, so that no nodes, materials or properties remain selected. |
|---|---|


**World**


| Ctrl + N | **New World** Opens a dialog for creating a new world asset and loads the created world. If the current world has unsaved changes, a prompt to save them appears first. |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + O | **Open World** Opens a dialog for browsing world assets and loads the selected one, prompting to save the current world if it has unsaved changes. |
| Ctrl + S | **Save World** Saves the loaded world together with its render, sound, physics and navigation settings. If the world asset is read-only, the *Save World As* dialog is opened instead, and while physics simulation is running an additional confirmation is requested. |
| Unassigned | **Save World As** Opens a dialog for saving the loaded world as a new asset under another name or in another folder, leaving the original world untouched. |
| Unassigned | **Reload World** Reloads the loaded world from disk, discarding unsaved changes and restoring the node selection afterwards. A prompt to save the changes is displayed beforehand. |
| Unassigned | **Close World** Unloads the current world and leaves the editor without an opened world, offering to save unsaved changes first. |
| Ctrl + Space | **Play/Pause** Toggles execution of the world logic and components without leaving the editor, which makes it possible to preview runtime behavior in place. |


**Edit**


| Ctrl + Z | **Undo** Reverts the last recorded editor action, such as a transformation, a parameter change, or reparenting. The shortcut repeats while the keys are held down. |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + Y | **Redo** Re-applies the action that was reverted last. The shortcut repeats while the keys are held down. |


#### Windows


**Single-Instance Windows**


| Unassigned | **Add Asset Browser** Opens an additional *[Asset Browser](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#asset_browser)* window, which makes it possible to browse several project folders side by side. |
|---|---|
| Unassigned | **Settings** Shows or hides the *[Settings](../../../editor2/settings/index.md)* window containing the editor and project preferences. |
| Unassigned | **Cleaner Window** Shows or hides the *[Cleaner](../../../editor2/cleaner/index.md)* window, which scans the project for unused, lost and similar assets and lost runtimes and allows removing them. |

| Unassigned | **Properties Hierarchy** Shows or hides the *[Properties](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#properties_hierarchy)* window containing the hierarchy of properties available in the project. |
| Unassigned | **Engine Viewport** Shows or hides the separate engine viewport window and moves focus to it. Has no effect when the C# Component System is used, as the engine viewport is not available in that case. |
| Alt + P | **Clone Parameters And Lock** Opens a copy of the last focused *[Parameters](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#parameters)* window with the same selection and with its selection locked, so that the parameters of the current object stay displayed while another object is selected. |
| Unassigned | **Reset Windows Layout** Restores the default editor layout: all viewports, *[Asset Browser](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#asset_browser)* and *[Parameters](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#parameters)* windows are closed and recreated as single default ones, open material and animation graph windows are closed, and the main window geometry is reset. |


**Multi-Instance Windows**


| Unassigned | **Add Editor Viewport** Opens one more editor viewport window and moves focus to it, which is convenient for observing the scene from several points of view at a time. |
|---|---|
| Unassigned | **Show Editor Viewport** Shows the editor viewport window that was hidden last, bringing hidden viewports back one by one. |
| Unassigned | **Hide Editor Viewport** Hides the editor viewport window used last without closing it, freeing screen space while keeping the viewport and its settings. |
| Unassigned | **Add Parameters Window** Opens an additional *[Parameters](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#parameters)* window displaying the current selection, up to the maximum number of such windows supported by the editor. |
| Unassigned | **Show Parameters Window** Shows the *[Parameters](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#parameters)* window that was hidden last, bringing hidden windows back in reverse order. |
| Unassigned | **Hide Parameters Window** Hides the most recently focused visible *[Parameters](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#parameters)* window, keeping it and its contents available for reuse. |


#### Nodes


**Placement**


| Delete | **Delete** Removes all selected nodes from the world in a single undoable operation. Requires at least one node to be selected. |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + G | **Group Selected** Creates a [NodeDummy](../../../objects/nodes/dummy/index.md) at the bounding center of the selected nodes and reparents them to it, keeping them selected. With nothing selected, an empty dummy node is created instead. |
| Ctrl + D | **Clone** Duplicates the selected nodes in place, gives the copies unique names and makes them the new selection. The copies keep the transform of the originals, so move them afterwards to see both. |
| Ctrl + C | **Copy Nodes** Stores copies of the selected nodes, together with their child hierarchies, in the internal editor clipboard for later pasting. The clipboard is kept until it is overwritten or the editor closes. |
| Ctrl + V | **Paste Nodes** Recreates the nodes stored in the editor clipboard and immediately starts placement mode, so the pasted nodes follow the mouse and stick to the surface under the cursor until the placement is confirmed. |
| Shift + D | **Repeat and Clone Nodes** Repeats the last clone operation, offsetting every new copy by the transform difference between the previous original and its clone. Use it after a clone plus move to keep adding evenly spaced copies in the same direction. |
| Ctrl + P | **Make Parent** Reparents all selected nodes to the node that was selected last, which becomes their common parent. Requires at least two selected nodes. |
| Shift + Ctrl + P | **Unparent** Moves the selected nodes one level up in the hierarchy, placing each of them right after its former parent. Nodes that already are at the world root are left untouched. |
| Shift + Ctrl + G | **Convert Selected into NodeReference** Saves the selected node as a node asset and replaces it in the world with a [NodeReference](../../../objects/nodes/reference/index.md) pointing to that asset. If several nodes are selected, they are first grouped under a new dummy node, which becomes the root of the reference. |
| Q | **Select** Switches the manipulator to selection mode, in which clicking in the viewport only picks nodes and no transformation gizmo is shown. Works only while manipulators are enabled. |
| W | **Move** Activates the translation manipulator for the current selection, so nodes can be dragged along its axes and planes. Works only while manipulators are enabled. |
| E | **Rotate** Activates the rotation manipulator for the current selection, so nodes can be turned around its rings. Works only while manipulators are enabled. |
| R | **Scale** Activates the scale manipulator for the current selection, so nodes can be resized along its axes. Works only while manipulators are enabled. |
| Z | **Switch Manipulator Pivot** Toggles the point the manipulator is attached to between the pivot of the node itself and the center of the bounding box of the whole selection. Works only while manipulators are enabled. |
| X | **Switch Manipulator Basis** Cycles the coordinate system the manipulator axes are aligned to through World, Parent, Local (last selected) and Local (independent). Works only while manipulators are enabled. |
| Unassigned | **Drop Node to the Ground** Casts a ray along the gravity direction from each top-level selected node and moves the node onto the first surface hit, applying the drop offset, direction and intersection mask configured in the node placement settings. Unassigned by default, and available only while manipulators are enabled. |
| Alt + X | **Move Node to Camera** Moves the selected nodes in front of the camera of the active viewport, at a distance proportional to the bounding radius of the selection. Useful for bringing back nodes that are far away or lost in the scene. |
| Unassigned | **Vertex Snapping** Hold to temporarily switch position snapping to vertex mode and enable it, so a dragged node snaps to the vertices of surrounding geometry. Releasing the key restores the previous snapping mode and its on or off state. |
| LMB | **Use Manipulator** Grabs the manipulator axis or plane under the cursor and drives the transformation while the button is held. Works only when the viewport with the manipulator has input focus, and is the button all the modifiers below are combined with. |
| Shift | **Clone and Move** Hold when starting a manipulator drag to leave the original nodes untouched and transform freshly created copies instead. The copies are created once, at the beginning of the drag. |
| Shift + Alt + LMB | **Clone and Move and Repeat** Hold while dragging the move manipulator to leave a new copy of the selection behind at every snapping step. Requires the Move manipulator to be active and snapping by grid to be enabled. |
| Alt | **Move Ignoring Hierarchy** Hold during a manipulator drag to apply the transformation only to the selected nodes and keep their children at their current world positions. |
| Alt | **Two-Side Resize** Hold while dragging a size handle to resize the shape symmetrically in both directions from its center instead of moving only the grabbed side. Applies to the sizer manipulator used for shapes. |
| Left Arrow | **Push Left** Nudges the selection one step to the left along the world axis that best matches the right direction of the camera in the hovered viewport. The step depends on the active manipulator: one unit for moving, 20 degrees for rotating, 0.1 for scaling, or the corresponding snapping step when snapping is enabled. |
| Right Arrow | **Push Right** Nudges the selection one step to the right along the world axis that best matches the right direction of the camera in the hovered viewport. The step depends on the active manipulator: one unit for moving, 20 degrees for rotating, 0.1 for scaling, or the corresponding snapping step when snapping is enabled. |
| Up Arrow | **Push Up** Nudges the selection one step upward along the world axis that best matches the up direction of the camera in the hovered viewport. The step depends on the active manipulator: one unit for moving, 20 degrees for rotating, 0.1 for scaling, or the corresponding snapping step when snapping is enabled. |
| Down Arrow | **Push Down** Nudges the selection one step downward along the world axis that best matches the up direction of the camera in the hovered viewport. The step depends on the active manipulator: one unit for moving, 20 degrees for rotating, 0.1 for scaling, or the corresponding snapping step when snapping is enabled. |
| Unassigned | **Precision Mode** Hold while dragging a manipulator to scale mouse movement down, which makes fine adjustments much easier. Active only during an ongoing manipulator drag that is not a cloning one, and unassigned by default. |


**Snapping**


| Shift + Z | **Toggle Snap to Grid** Turns snapping of node positions to the grid on and off. The setting is persistent: it stays as you leave it until it is toggled again. |
|---|---|
| Shift + X | **Toggle Snap by Angle** Turns snapping of node rotation to the angle step on and off. The setting is persistent: it stays as you leave it until it is toggled again. |
| Unassigned | **Toggle Snap by Scale** Turns snapping of node scaling to the scale step on and off. The setting is persistent and unassigned by default. |
| Ctrl + Left Ctrl | **Invert Snapping Controls** Hold to temporarily flip all three snapping switches at once, enabling the ones that are off and disabling the ones that are on. Releasing the key flips them back, so snapping can be inverted for the duration of a single drag. |


**Snap to surface**


| Alt + W | **Place Node on Surface** Starts placement mode for the selected nodes: they follow the mouse cursor, stick to the surface under it and are shown with the surface offset until the placement is confirmed or aborted. While the mode is active, the main window is blocked and only the placement shortcuts work. |
|---|---|
| Wheel Up | **Increase Distance to Surface** Raises the distance at which the placed nodes hover above the surface by 0.1 units per wheel notch, along the surface normal. Works only while placement mode is active. |
| Wheel Down | **Decrease Distance to Surface** Lowers the distance at which the placed nodes hover above the surface by 0.1 units per wheel notch, and can push them below the surface when the value becomes negative. Works only while placement mode is active. |
| MMB | **Reset Distance to Surface** Sets the distance to the surface back to zero, so the placed nodes sit directly on the surface under the cursor. Works only while placement mode is active. |
| RMB | **Orient by Surface Normal** Toggles alignment of the placed nodes to the normal of the surface under the cursor: when it is on, the nodes tilt with the slope, when it is off, they keep their original orientation. The setting is persistent and works only while placement mode is active. |
| LMB | **Confirm Placement** Confirms the placement: the nodes stay at the position shown under the cursor, the transformation is written to the undo history and placement mode is closed. Works only while placement mode is active. |
| Esc | **Abort Placement** Aborts the placement: the nodes are returned to the transformation they had before placement started and the mode is closed. Works only while placement mode is active. |


**Tools**


| Pgdown | **Next Node (Keyboard)** Replaces the mesh or node reference of the selected node with the next node asset in the same folder, which lets you flip through the assets of a set without reimporting. Requires exactly one selected node that is a [NodeReference](../../../objects/nodes/reference/index.md) or an [ObjectMeshStatic](../../../objects/objects/mesh/index.md). |
|---|---|
| Shift + Wheel Down | **Next Node (Mouse)** Replaces the mesh or node reference of the selected node with the next node asset in the same folder, using the mouse wheel instead of the keyboard. Requires exactly one selected node that is a [NodeReference](../../../objects/nodes/reference/index.md) or an [ObjectMeshStatic](../../../objects/objects/mesh/index.md). |
| Pgup | **Previous Node (Keyboard)** Replaces the mesh or node reference of the selected node with the previous node asset in the same folder. Requires exactly one selected node that is a [NodeReference](../../../objects/nodes/reference/index.md) or an [ObjectMeshStatic](../../../objects/objects/mesh/index.md). |
| Shift + Wheel Up | **Previous Node (Mouse)** Replaces the mesh or node reference of the selected node with the previous node asset in the same folder, using the mouse wheel instead of the keyboard. Requires exactly one selected node that is a [NodeReference](../../../objects/nodes/reference/index.md) or an [ObjectMeshStatic](../../../objects/objects/mesh/index.md). |


**Selection**


| Ctrl + A | **Select All** Selects all nodes of the current world that are shown in the editor, except the World Light. Use it as a starting point for mass operations such as grouping or deleting. |
|---|---|
| Shift + Ctrl + A | **Reset Selection** Clears the current selection, leaving no node selected. |
| Ctrl + I | **Invert Selection** Replaces the current selection with all the other nodes of the world: everything that was selected becomes deselected and vice versa. Requires a non-empty selection. |
| LMB | **Select** Picks the node under the cursor in the viewport; dragging with the button held draws a rectangle and selects everything inside it. Available in the object editing mode of the viewport. |
| Shift | **Add to Selection** Hold while clicking or dragging a selection rectangle in the viewport to add the picked nodes to the current selection instead of replacing it. |
| Ctrl | **Remove from Selection** Hold while clicking or dragging a selection rectangle in the viewport to remove the picked nodes from the current selection. |


#### Navigation


**Navigation**


| RMB | **Change Direction** Rotates the active viewport camera around its own position: hold the button and drag the mouse to look around. Holding it also engages the fly mode in which the WASD, Q, E and camera speed wheel shortcuts become available. |
|---|---|
| Alt + RMB | **Zoom (Dolly)** Dollies the active viewport camera forward or backward along its view direction as the mouse is dragged, keeping the view direction unchanged. |
| Alt + LMB | **Orbit** Orbits the active viewport camera around the current focus point while the mouse is dragged, which is convenient for inspecting a node from all sides. |
| Alt + MMB | **Track (Crab)** Moves (tracks, or crabs) the active viewport camera horizontally and vertically in its view plane as the mouse is dragged, without changing the view direction. |
| Wheel Up | **Zoom In** Zooms the active viewport camera in by one wheel step. The mouse pointer must be over the viewport. |
| Wheel Down | **Zoom Out** Zooms the active viewport camera out by one wheel step. The mouse pointer must be over the viewport. |
| RMB + W | **Move Forward** Flies the active viewport camera forward along its view direction. Works only while the navigation mouse button is held down, and can be combined with the Run modifier. |
| RMB + S | **Move Backward** Flies the active viewport camera backward along its view direction. Works only while the navigation mouse button is held down, and can be combined with the Run modifier. |
| RMB + A | **Move Left** Strafes the active viewport camera to the left, keeping the view direction unchanged. Works only while the navigation mouse button is held down. |
| RMB + D | **Move Right** Strafes the active viewport camera to the right, keeping the view direction unchanged. Works only while the navigation mouse button is held down. |
| RMB + Q | **Crouch** Moves the active viewport camera downward (crouch). Works only while the navigation mouse button is held down. |
| RMB + E | **Jump** Moves the active viewport camera upward (jump). Works only while the navigation mouse button is held down. |
| Unassigned | **Roll Right** Rolls the active viewport camera clockwise around its view axis, tilting the horizon. No key is bound by default, so assign one in the shortcut settings before using it. |
| Unassigned | **Roll Left** Rolls the active viewport camera counter-clockwise around its view axis, tilting the horizon. No key is bound by default, so assign one in the shortcut settings before using it. |
| Shift | **Run** Acts as a speed modifier rather than a separate action: hold it together with the camera movement keys to fly noticeably faster, and release it to return to the normal speed. |


**Focusing**


| F | **Focus Camera On Nodes** Moves the camera of the active viewport so that the currently selected node or nodes fit the view, shrinking oversized nodes to keep the framing usable. Requires at least one node to be selected. |
|---|---|
| Shift + F | **Focus Camera On Nodes (Bound-Based)** Moves the camera of the active viewport to frame the current selection using the full bounding box of the selected nodes, without shrinking large ones. Use it when the whole extent of a big node must be visible; requires a selection. |
| G | **Reset Camera Focus** Resets the camera focus point of the active viewport to the current camera position, so that subsequent orbiting rotates around the camera itself instead of the previously focused node. |


**Speed**


| 1 | **Camera Speed 1** Switches the active viewport camera to the first speed preset (the slowest one). The corresponding preset button is highlighted and its value is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
|---|---|
| 2 | **Camera Speed 2** Switches the active viewport camera to the second speed preset (the medium one). The corresponding preset button is highlighted and its value is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
| 3 | **Camera Speed 3** Switches the active viewport camera to the third speed preset (the fastest one). The corresponding preset button is highlighted and its value is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
| Unassigned | **Toggle Camera Speeds** Cycles through the available camera speed presets of the active viewport one by one, which is handy for changing the flight speed without reaching for the numeric keys. No key is bound by default. |
| Ctrl + RMB + Wheel Up | **Increase Camera Speed (step: 0.1)** Increases the speed value of the currently selected camera speed preset by 0.1 per wheel step, for fine tuning. The new value is applied immediately and shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
| Ctrl + RMB + Wheel Down | **Decrease Camera Speed (step: 0.1)** Decreases the speed value of the currently selected camera speed preset by 0.1 per wheel step, for fine tuning. The value never drops below 0.1 and is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
| RMB + Wheel Up | **Increase Camera Speed (step: 1.0)** Increases the speed value of the currently selected camera speed preset by 1.0 per wheel step while flying the camera. The new value is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
| RMB + Wheel Down | **Decrease Camera Speed (step: 1.0)** Decreases the speed value of the currently selected camera speed preset by 1.0 per wheel step while flying the camera. The value never drops below 0.1 and is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
| Shift + RMB + Wheel Up | **Increase Camera Speed (step: 10.0)** Increases the speed value of the currently selected camera speed preset by 10.0 per wheel step, for covering large distances quickly. The new value is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |
| Shift + RMB + Wheel Down | **Decrease Camera Speed (step: 10.0)** Decreases the speed value of the currently selected camera speed preset by 10.0 per wheel step. The value never drops below 0.1 and is shown in the Speed field of the viewport toolbar. |


**Utilities**


| L | **Toggle Camera Flashlight** Turns the camera flashlight of the active viewport on or off. The flashlight follows the camera and lights the scene ahead of it, which helps when navigating dark areas. |
|---|---|


#### Viewport


**FullScreen**


| Unassigned | **Toggle Fullscreen** Expands the active viewport to fill the whole editor window and restores its normal size on the next press. No key is bound by default, so assign one in the shortcut settings before using it. |
|---|---|


**Context Menu**


| RMB | **Viewport Context Menu** Opens the viewport context menu for the node under the mouse pointer. Pressing the button without the Shift modifier also selects the node under the pointer, or clears the selection if there is nothing there. |
|---|---|
| Shift | **Create Node Viewport Context Menu** Acts as a modifier rather than a separate action: hold it while opening the viewport context menu to get the node creation menu instead of the standard one, and note that the current selection is left untouched. |
| Unassigned | **Open in Parameters Window** Opens the node under the mouse pointer in a separate *[Parameters](../../../editor2/interface/index.md#parameters)* window, so that its parameters can be inspected alongside another node. Nothing happens if there is no node under the pointer. |


#### Visualization


**Rendering Mode**


| Unassigned | **Final Image** Restores normal scene rendering by returning all render options that were disabled by the unlit mode to their previous values. Use it to get back to the final shaded image after inspecting geometry in unlit mode. |
|---|---|
| Unassigned | **Unlit** Switches rendering to an unlit preview by temporarily disabling lighting-related and post-processing options, such as shadows, screen-space effects, reflections, refraction, tonemapper, bloom, and clouds. Use it to evaluate raw albedo and geometry without lighting, and when working on materials or layout. |
| Unassigned | **Final Image/Unlit** Toggles between the unlit preview and the final shaded image, applying whichever of the two states is not currently active. Convenient for quickly comparing lit and unlit appearance while editing materials. |
| F4 | **Show Triangles** Toggles wireframe display of the rendered triangles for the whole scene via the render_show_triangles console command. Use it to inspect mesh density and topology, for example, when looking for over-tessellated or badly optimized geometry. |
