Keyboard shortcuts

Angelo adds only a few shortcuts to Blender's own. Change them like any other in Preferences ▸ Keymap.

Modes and the chat#

Does	Mac	Windows
Switch between Director and Manual	`⌃` `⌥` `M`	`Ctrl` `Alt` `M`
Show or hide the chat (Manual mode)	`⌃` `⌥` `N`	`Ctrl` `Alt` `N`

Both work from any editor, and the Director / Manual menu shows the mode shortcut. Show or hide the chat also works while you type in the chat.

Does	Mac	Windows
Send	`Return`	`Enter`
New line	`⇧` `Return`	`Shift` `Enter`
Select all, copy, cut, paste	`⌘` `A`, `⌘` `C`, `⌘` `X`, `⌘` `V`	`Ctrl` `A`, `Ctrl` `C`, `Ctrl` `X`, `Ctrl` `V`
Move the caret, select with Shift	`←` `→` `↑` `↓` `Home` `End`	`←` `→` `↑` `↓` `Home` `End`
Move through the chat's buttons	`Tab`, `⇧` `Tab`; `Return` or `Space` presses	`Tab`, `Shift` `Tab`; `Enter` or `Space` presses
Close a menu or clear the selection	`Esc`	`Esc`

In the model list, type to search; ↑ ↓ and Return pick. In the effort card, ← → change the effort.
In the + menu, ↑ ↓ move and Return picks.
On Angelo's cards (the welcome screen, What's New, a preview to accept), Return does the main action and Esc closes. Turning on Fast always needs a click.

Esc never stops a running request: use the square Stop button. Your quit shortcut always works, whatever is open.

Everything else is Blender 5.2.2's keymap. The one change: Shift F4 always opens the Python Console, and never the chat.
