*️⃣Keyboard Shortcuts

Lists all keyboard shortcuts in Timeflow

Customizing Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are customized using Unity's built-in Shortcuts Manager. This includes many additional commands that may be assigned shortcuts as needed.

From the main menu, select Edit/Shortcuts... and then locate Timeflow in list on the left.

Note that the sorting order of commands is controlled by the Shortcuts Manager and is not sortable.

Please note that some keyboard mappings are built-in and cannot be found in the Shortcuts Manager. Shortcuts may also vary by context, meaning some work globally, others are only applicable in the Timeflow view, and others may vary by what is selected. The different types of shortcuts are listed below separately.

Key Binding Conflicts in Unity 2021

There's a bug in Unity 2021's shortcut system that calls into conflict commands pertaining to different contexts. Therefore, it is a known issue that many of the Timeflow shortcuts will raise conflict warnings.

Solutions

• When these occur, you may either select which command to perform or rebind it.

• If you are able to update to Unity 2022 or later, the problem is fixed and the same command can be used in separate windows without conflicts.
