I tried to make everything keyboard driven because my mouse is so glitchy.

Editor & help

A command palette that covers every action, replayable guided tours, and a fully keyboard-driven workflow.

The editor is built around a command palette: anything you can do via a menu or button is also reachable by name from one search box, so you rarely have to hunt through menus. Pair that with keyboard shortcuts and a set of guided tours, and you can learn the app and work in it without leaving the keyboard.

New users get an automatic first-run walkthrough, and every tour stays available to replay later from the Help menu or command palette whenever you want to learn a specific feature.

How to use it

  1. Open the command palette

    Open the command palette with Ctrl+K (or just press Space anywhere outside a text field). Type a command name — fuzzy search matches aliases too, so "cube" finds "Box".

  2. Jump to a scene object

    The palette also lists every object in your scene under an Outliner group, so you can type a part's name to jump straight to selecting it.

  3. See keyboard shortcuts

    To see keyboard shortcuts, press ? (or open Help ▸ Keyboard shortcuts…). The dialog groups every bound key by category, including first-person movement keys.

  4. Take a guided tour

    To take a guided tour, open Help ▸ Browse tours… (the Tours picker), pick a tour, and follow the popovers — they auto-advance as you perform each action. Start with First steps (badged Start here).

  5. Replay the intro

    To replay the intro walkthrough at any time, choose Help ▸ Start tour.

Tips

  • Tours auto-advance: a step watching for "drag a Box" or "press T" moves on the moment you actually do it. The Next → button still works if you'd rather skip ahead.
  • The first-run tour fires once automatically on a fresh browser; once you've interacted with the tour system at all it won't ambush you again — but you can always relaunch it from Help.
  • The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog only lists real, discoverable keybindings; many commands are palette-only, so the command palette is the complete index of actions.
  • The number keys 1–5 jump between the Properties, Scene, History, Assets, and Models panels in the modeling viewport.
  • Tour progress is remembered per browser via local storage, and the tour overlay lets you click through to the actual UI it's pointing at.
