GECK Keyboard Mapping

The GECK Keyboard Mapping is used when working in the Render Window. If you are editing the NavMesh, see the NavMesh Keyboard Mapping.

The GECK supports user-defined hotkey mapping. These bindings can be modified from the main toolbar via Edit>Render Window Hotkeys. This page is intended as a quick reference to the default key bindings.
