The Creator is largely driven from the keyboard. In every table, Cmd stands for macOS and Ctrl for Windows and Linux: the interface adapts what it displays to your machine. 🚀
🔺 Shortcuts are deliberately disabled while you are typing in an input field. Click in the canvas first to re-enable them.

You can then arrange your windows from the keyboard: Esc closes the active window, Alt + ↑ maximizes it, Alt + ↓ minimizes it, Alt + ← and Alt + → stack it left or right, Shift + Tab switches between windows. On Windows and Linux, replace Alt with Ctrl. 🗂️
These combinations are displayed in the menus. If they get in your way, uncheck Show keyboard shortcuts on the menu in your preferences. ⚙️

🔺 These four combinations are announced by the tooltips and the menus, but they do not fire from the keyboard. Use the toolbar buttons instead. 🙂
🔍 A curiosity: the d b g sequence
Type the letters d, b, g one after the other in the canvas: a development window opens. It lists the project's resources, offers to clean up the ones no longer in use, reports missing translations and displays build data.
🔺 This is not a scenario debugging tool: to follow how your story unfolds, use the player and its variables panel. This window stays in English. Cleaning up resources is a deletion: save first. 💾
→ Next step: go through The Creator Interface and Menus to connect each shortcut to its matching button. 🧭
