Shortcuts and presets

Every shortcut, its binding in each preset, and how to change a binding.

Studio has five shortcut presets: Sunrise Studio, Blender, Unity, Maya and Unreal. You can change every binding in the Shortcuts window. The player camera keys are fixed. Shortcuts are saved in your local settings, not in projects.

Where a shortcut works

section

works

Menus

anywhere, except while you type in a text field

in textures, CUI canvases and graphs, with the view under the pointer

in scene and asset views, with the view under the pointer

Studio reads the keyboard and mouse only while one of its windows is active. Shortcuts do nothing while Studio runs background work. Losing focus or opening the Shortcuts window ends a drag.

Choose a preset

Choose Edit > Shortcuts….
Open Preset and choose a preset.

Choosing a preset replaces every binding.

Change a binding

Choose Edit > Shortcuts….
Open the Menus, 2D or 3D tab.
In the Binding or Second binding column, click the button of the action.
In Press a shortcut, press the new key, click or drag. Hold Ctrl, Shift or Alt to include them.

Escape cancels. x next to a binding clears it. Reset returns the action to the preset’s binding. A changed action shows in the accent color. Every change saves at once. Press Close when you are done.

Conflicts

A binding with more modifiers wins over one with fewer. If two actions still match the same input, neither runs. The window marks the conflict in red and counts it at the top. Hover the binding to see which action it overlaps.

Menus

Sunrise Studio is the default preset. The other presets follow their editors. An action with no common binding in an editor stays unbound in that preset.
