Keyboard shortcuts
Rigby2D has two shortcut presets. Choose one under View ▸ Shortcuts; Help lists the keys of the
active preset. On macOS, Ctrl also works as Cmd.
- Reference (default): tools and playback on the left hand (B, N, C, V, X, Z; Q, W, E, A, S, D,
R, F), as in common 2D animation tools.
- Blender-like: G, R, S for translate, rotate and scale, I to key, the arrow keys for time.
This table is generated from the editor's keymap, so it always matches the current version.
