Keyboard shortcuts

UI library · Desktop guide · Tools and menus

Shortcuts depend on the focused workspace. Click the editor, graph, asset browser, or viewport first. Where the same key appears in multiple sections, the focused tool determines its action. The list below is based on current shortcut bindings in the application; it is not a list of Maya, Blender, or Unreal's own shortcuts.

Chat and main window

Shortcut Action
Enter in the prompt Send the request.
Shift+Enter in the prompt Insert a new line.
F6 / Shift+F6 Move between the application's major panes.
Ctrl+Shift+I Open Ophanim, the image and texture suite.

Code Editor

Current Tech Connector Editor showing the file tabs, source, structure panel, and editor actions

Shortcut Action
Ctrl+S Save current file.
Ctrl+F Find in current file.
Ctrl+D Duplicate current line.

Ctrl+Alt+L Reformat current editor file.
Alt+Enter Fix current editor quality issues.

Editor actions work on the file open in Tech Connector. Check the selected file tab before saving or applying an edit.

Pipeline graph and code view
