Keys to watch when pressed outside an input field
Shortcuts work when the text cursor is outside an input field. If you edit a name or value and press another key without leaving the field with Esc, the character goes into the field; conversely, if you type without realizing you've left the field, shortcuts fire. These keys in particular change the screen suddenly and are easy to be surprised by.
- Space: All panels disappear. Press it again to bring them back.
- Delete, Backspace: The selected entity or asset is deleted, or the folder changes. Undo a deletion with Ctrl+Z.
- W A S D, number keys: The viewport camera or gizmo changes.
