Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts give you direct access to certain functionalities and thus can speed up your work
flow significantly. They depend on the context, which means that in different windows or with different
tools the same combination of keys can cause different actions. Delta2D follows the conventions known
from other applications, where most menu items are accessible by typing the underlined letter of the
menu command while holding pressed the Alt key. In addition, you can use the following
shortcuts:
