Currently there is no hot key or key combination to switch to nudgemode (using arrow keys) when the "arrow keys nudge selected objects/vertex" box in the options menu is unchecked.

being able to nudge obejects/vertices is very necisary, but i find navigating my map with the arrow keys by defualt is more useful for me then having to push space bar. i hope such a hotkey will be implimented, that doesnt require me to go into options and turn it on all the time.

<!-- Please start new discussions below this line. -->


also i would like to see a hot key or combination key, that would allow easy rotaion of a line of vertices, also adding a movable centerpoint would be very useful, such as that in photoshop when you go into freetransform mode with a selected object.

On my computer, the {{key|Ctrl+H}} shortcut doesn't hollow out objects like it is said [[Hammer_Hotkey_Reference#Carving/Hollowing|here]]. It does something else instead. I have to go to ''Tools&gt;&gt;Make Hollow'' in the menu to hollow a brush. Would someone tell me why the hollow hotkey doesn't work? --[[User:Nathaniel|Nathaniel]] 00:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

:Wow. You're right: {{key|Ctrl+H}} seems to instead '''delete everything but the selected objects'''. Nasty shortcut - save your map ''before'' trying that. --[[User:MossyBucket|MossyBucket (formerly Andreasen)]] 01:46, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

:The camera gets tilted down a little whenever you switch to it. Do it enough and it will have gone through a full circle! Very annoying.

Invalid Entries?

Went through the list today, and I wasn't able to use these key commands:

  • Viewports
F6 || Cycles to the next active viewport.
Shift+F6 || Cycles to the previous active viewport.
Neither F6 nor Shift+F6 seemed to do anything


  • 2D Views
Ctrl+Shift+B || Snap selected objects to grid (individually).
There didn't seem to be any difference between this and Ctrl+B
+/- || Zoom in/out (hold Ctrl to synchronize all 2D views).
The number pad +/- worked, but not the regular keys


  • Camera Tool
Shift or Alt || Hold Shift or Alt and click and drag left mouse button to create a new camera.
Shift worked, but not Alt


  • Overlay Tool
Shift || Hold Shift and drag a overlay vertex to snap it to another vertex.
I'm not exactly sure what this is supposed to do, doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Collapsable tables

We should make each section a table that is collapsed by default to make this page a lot easier to work with, read and comprehend.
