Editor Usability

• CTRL+P or SHIFT+ALT+O quick open dialog.
• CTRL+B to go to asset.
• While navigating the viewport with right click hold + WASD, you can scroll the mouse to speed up / slow down.
• Master blueprint search
  • “+” means exact match: Nodes( Name = +"SetTransform" )
  • Nodes(Name=PrintString) && Path=Gameplay/Enemies/MyBoss
  • ParentClass=BP_EnemyWeapon && All(Name=EventTick)
• Master content browser search

  • More details in this post.
• Use bookmarks when designing levels (ctrl+[0-9] to bookmark, [0-9] go to). Bookmarks get saved into the level and shared with team members.
• Spline Generation Panel is a super fast and convenient way to make basic spline shapes.
• In editor, ALT+F to toggle fog visibility, G to toggle between editor/game view, T to toggle translucent selection.
• ALT+R to toggle light radius indicator.
