Standard

Keyboard Shortcut Action
Space Displays a Search box at the position of your pointer to let you create an operation.
  • From scratch:

    When you work in the main window and press Space, you can enter a search string in the box and select the operation to create.

  • From an operation under creation:

    While you create an operation in the main window, you can press Space to validate the operation and use its output to create another operation you search in the box.

  • From a selection:

    When a geometry is selected, you can press Space to create an operation using the selected geometry as input.

  • From a specific output:

    When you work in the Graph Editor, you can select the output of an operation and then press Space to create an operation from the selected output.

  • From a node:

    When you work in the Graph Editor, you can select a node and then press Space to create an operation from the selected node. By default, the first output is selected for the creation.

    Tip: This is helpful to create an operation from a node that is not displayed in the view area you are working on. Select the node, move your viewpoint, and then press Space to be able to create an operation from the selected node even if it is not displayed in the current area of the Graph Editor.
