Keyboard Shortcuts
Every menu command shows its shortcut in the menu, and every command can be given a new one.
- Open View → Keyboard shortcuts… (also in the Help menu).
- Use Search to find a command by name or by its current keys.
- Click the command's shortcut box and press the new combination.
- If those keys are already used, you're asked whether to move them. The other command is then left without a shortcut.
- Clear removes a shortcut. Reset restores one command's default. Reset all to defaults restores everything.
- Click Save. Menus and tooltips update immediately.
Shortcuts are saved for your Windows user, separately from projects. Arrow keys, Escape and Tab can't be assigned, because the canvas uses them. Numpad keys work like their main-keyboard equivalents (numpad + is the same as +).

Other commands (Recover, Export for KubeJS, Isolate group, Show grid, Snap to grid, Reset panel layout, Screen settings, Project settings, Import texture, MCP server, Script API, About) have no default shortcut, but you can add one.
These aren't part of the shortcuts list:
| Keys | Do |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / Shift+arrows | Nudge the selection 1 / 10 GUI pixels |
| Escape | Leave group isolation, or cancel a selection box |
| Ctrl + mouse wheel | Zoom toward the pointer |
| Alt-click | Select one member of a group |
| Shift-click / Ctrl-click | Add to the selection |
| Ctrl while resizing a panel | Resize without moving its children |
| Ctrl+Space in the script editor | Insert an API snippet |
In text boxes and the script editor, keys behave normally: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z work on the text. Save, New, Open, Preview, Minecraft test and Validate still work while you type.
F6 opens your project, F7 closes it, F8 shows the test controls. Change these inside Minecraft under Options → Controls → Key Binds → Wysicraft Test.
