Keyboard navigation

After you open a project, press g followed by a destination code to switch pages. Press the keys in sequence, not at the same time. Press each next key within 1.5 seconds.

The keys are case-insensitive. The shortcuts do not run while you type in an editable field or hold Ctrl, Command, or Alt. If you press an unsupported key or wait too long, start again with g.

Character Sprites, Scene Editor, Animation Editor, Audio Effect Editor, and Layout Editor do not have global shortcuts because you must select a resource before opening them.

For keyboard navigation within resource lists, read the File Explorer guide.
