Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts are context-aware: some only apply while you’re drawing, placing, or have something selected. The same list is available in the editor under Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts. On Windows and Linux, Cmd/Ctrl means Ctrl. Shortcuts don’t fire while you’re typing in a text field.

Tools and modes

Shortcut	Action
`V`	Select mode
`B`	Build mode with the wall tool on Rectangle, and the Build panel open
`X`	Delete mode
`Z`	Zone drawing
`F`	Opens the items panel with the item tool armed
`P`	Material paint mode, with the Paint panel open
`1`	Site — the lot, property line, and terrain
`2`	Building — everything on the active level
`Esc`	Cancel the current draw/placement; pressed again, return to Select mode and clear the selection

Editing

Shortcut	Action
`Cmd/Ctrl + Z`	Undo
`Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z`	Redo
`Cmd/Ctrl + C`	Copy the selection
`Cmd/Ctrl + V`	Paste onto the active level
`Delete` / `Backspace`	Delete the selection (asks for confirmation above 10 elements)
`R`	Rotate the selected element clockwise in 45° steps; for a door or window, flip which side it faces
`T`	Rotate the selected element counter-clockwise in 45° steps
`E`	Open/close the selected door or operable window

Drawing and placement

These apply while a draw or placement is active — the contextual hint strip shows which ones are live.

Shortcut	Action
`Shift`	Cycle the snapping mode: Grid → Lines → Angles → Off
`Ctrl` (tap)	Cycle the grid step: 0.5 → 0.25 → 0.1 → 0.05 m
`C`	Cycle the continuation mode — items: Place once / Place multiple; fences: Continuous / Single fence. The wall’s shape (Rectangle, Polygon, Walls) is picked in the Build panel’s Rooms group
`T`	While drawing a fence: toggle curved segments
`R` / `T`	While placing a door or window: flip the draft before committing
`Shift` (in paint mode)	Cycle the paint scope: surface → whole item → all matching → room

Block mesh editing

These apply only while a block is in mesh edit mode. Tab enters and leaves it, and while it’s active these keys take priority over the tool and editing shortcuts above.

Shortcut	Action
`Tab`	Enter mesh edit mode on the selected block, or leave it
`1` / `2` / `3`	Switch between vertex, edge, and face selection
`G` / `R` / `S`	Move, rotate, or scale the selected components
`E`	Extrude the selected faces
`I`	Inset the selected faces
`Cmd/Ctrl + B`	Bevel the selected edges — drag for width, scroll for segments
`D`	Dissolve the selected edges
`M`	Merge the selected vertices

Selection and direct manipulation

Shortcut	Action
`Cmd/Ctrl + click` or `Shift + click`	Add or remove an element from the selection
Drag	Move the selected movable element
`Cmd/Ctrl + right-drag`	Rotate the selected element (snaps to 15° steps)
`Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + right-drag`	Rotate freely, without the 15° step

Camera

Shortcut	Action
Right-drag	Orbit
Middle-drag	Pan
`Space` + drag	Pan
Scroll	Zoom
`W` `A` `S` `D`	Pan in screen space
`Cmd/Ctrl + ↑`	Go up one level
`Cmd/Ctrl + ↓`	Go down one level

On touch devices: one-finger drag orbits, two-finger pinch zooms and pans, and a three-finger drag always orbits.

Panels

Shortcut	Action
`Cmd/Ctrl + K`	Open the command palette
`Cmd/Ctrl + I`	Open the Chat (AI) panel
