I've viewed many tutorials where the presenter use numerous keyboard shortcuts which seem tremendously powerful and time saving. The F1 reference is good, but it appears to be elementary compared to all the options and tricks that are available. I've search on the sites and forums, but can not find a comprehensive list of ALL the key board shortcuts that can be used throughout GG? Is there someplace that provides a simply organized like the F1 screen, but is a comprehensive list of ALL possible keyboard shortcuts and tricks?

I think that GG is a good tool, but it could be supported by better documentation. Learning the environment by exclusively watching tutorials and doing trial and error experiments will only delay or prevent wider acceptance.

If anyone has any shortcuts they use that are NOT shown on the F1 help page let me know. As far as I know, all the keys are represented.

A good example is the duplication of an entity that is introduced n Game Guru Twitch Broadcast #1. There is nothing on the F1 page that says "select the entity, hold down shift and select extract". This is just one example. I would think someone could could be a hero if they would write part #2 of the Getting Started Guide and provide some of these tricks. For some who knows the editor it couldn't take much time and would help everyone/

Thanks. Your list is what I was referring to. It will help tremendously if you have a need to do something in a scene and there is a list of all the short cuts to manipulate things in one place.

Also, I just noticed F10 (to take a screenshot in test game) Isn't on that list! FYI, JASailor, in case you didn't already know it (of course you do, you just read read my previous sentence), F10 takes a screenshot, lol. It stores it in Documents/Game Guru Files.
