If you **scroll the mousewheel** while flying you can control the fly speed, you can also hold **Shift** to fly faster. ⤶ | Keyboard Shortcuts | Description |⤶ |-------------------|--------------------|⤶ | ` (backtick / tilde) | Focus console input if visible in current layout, else Unfocus Game / Release Mouse |⤶ | F1 | Developer Console |⤶ | F3 | Fullscreen Game |⤶ | F5 | Play |⤶ | F6 | Record Video to steamapps\common\sbox\screenshots |⤶ | T | Toggle Global/Local space for gizmo transforms |⤶ | G | Toggle Grid Snap |⤶ | Shift+G | Toggle Gizmos |⤶ | F | Center camera on currently selected object / Scene Origin |⤶ | W, E, R | Switch to Move, Rotate and Scale gizmos respectively |⤶ | Shift | Select Multiple |⤶ | Ctrl | Select or Unselect Multiple |⤶ | Ctrl+1 | 'Drop' selected object (snap to floor) |⤶ ⤶ <note>The bottom of this article contains a list of helpful **Keyboard Shortcuts**.</note>⤶ ## 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.
