Editor Overview

The Editor

The editor is the window where you'll likely spend most of your Time. Widgets can be docked anywhere in the window, created under the view dropdown found in the top left corner.

Holding Right Click allows you to freelook and fly around with WASD and Q/E. If you scroll the mousewheel while flying you can control the fly speed, you can also hold Shift to fly faster.

The Inspector

You can inspect and modify Components, Assets, and Panels in your game at runtime through the inspector.

The Asset Browser

The Asset Browser is where you interact with and manage all of your assets. From here, you can view content from your local addons as well as content available on asset.party. You can also create and import assets.

Console

This provides a command-line interface for you to interact with your games and the engine.

The Project Manager

The Project Manager allows you to create new projects - things like games, maps, addons, and tools. It also allows you to manage your existing projects, and update them.

Toolbar

This contains a bunch of buttons that open different tools - including the material editor, ModelDoc, and Hammer, among others. You can hover over them to see what they do.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are helpful for quickly using the Editor. That is why this bigass list is near the top.

Some of the following shortcuts can also be accessed under the Scene dropdown menu near the top of the editor.
