Usage

Scene placement

When holding Shift+A in a scene, you can bring up the placement gizmo. This placement gizmo will dictate where the new object will be placed. Once a point has been determined, left-click to bring up the Add Window.

• Holding Shift+X will use origin placement instead.

Here you can select an object from the native GameObject creation window, or you can scroll down to select a prefab from the project. Otherwise, you can use the search functionality to locate closest matching names.

At the bottom of the Add Window are additional placement options:

• Place along surface normal
• Parent to surface

Scene toolbar

Once an object is selected, a toolbar will appear underneath it. This toolbar contains the following:

• Object name
• Object components
• Add component button

Clicking the object's name will show the GameObject toolbar. Clicking a component icon will show the given component's inspector window underneath the toolbar.

At the end of the toolbar is an Add Component button. This will show the native Unity menu for the operation.

FAQ

Can I change my keybinds?

• Yes! Search for MainMenu/Edit/Quick Scene/Add - Pointer, and MainMenu/Edit/Quick Scene/Add - Origin in the shortcuts menu.

I changed my keybinds, but they don't update!

• If you change keybinds without a recompilation, you'll need to select Edit/Quick Scene/Refresh Keybinds to refresh them.

If my editor crashes, why is there a random floating window?

• This can happen due to the window not being closed properly. This can be fixed by resetting the Unity layout.

Why does my editor lose performance when in a component window or a GameObject window?

• This is a known issue with handling multiple in-scene editor windows. Other options are being looked at for more performance.

Why is the search showing options that aren't relevant to what I typed in?

• Because I don't understand how Sublime's fuzzy search works so I did my best :(
