User Guide: Hotkeys

Enable one of these hotkey buttons, and you can then use the right mouse button to apply it at the mouse pointer location. For people who prefer to just use a mouse.

Below is the full list of hotkeys that can be used in UVLayout's graphics window. Its split into four different sections, the first being hotkeys common to all viewing modes, followed by the hotkeys specific to each of the UV, Ed and 3D viewing modes.

First off, here's some short-hands used in the lists below:

LMB	- Click the left mouse button.
MMB	- Click the middle/wheel mouse button.
RMB	- Click the right mouse button.
Ctrl	- Hold down the Ctrl key while typing the listed key. The Command key can also be used under Mac OS X.
Shift	- Hold down the Shift key while typing the listed key.
Space	- Hold down the Space key while typing the listed key.
Double	- Double tap the listed key.
*******	- Indicates a hotkey that will switch to rectangle selection, to apply the action to multiple shells, if the mouse pointer isn't currently over a shell.

Note: The hotkeys are case-sensitive. This means that if you accidentally turn Caps Lock on, then most functions will not work correctly. Because of this, a warning message will appear in the 3D window whenever you have Caps Lock on.
