Key and mouse control in Dark Radiant...

written by Fidcal

This is an unformatted temporary copy of my personal rough notes which I update as I find time and discover new stuff. It is very incomplete. At some stage hopefully I'll tidy it up properly and make it more comprehensive.


camview = 3D camera view xyz = any orthoview, top, front, side. [ ] square brackets indicates no default key assigned LMB, MMB, RMB - Left, middle, right mouse buttons and MMW is middle mouse wheel (rotation)


CAMERA VIEW: RMB in camview = toggle free mouse look around In free mouse mode: Zoom in and out with MMB Ctrl+Shift+slide mouse forward,backward, left and right WITH FINE CONTROL. Ctrl+slide mouse moves up, down, left and right WITH FINE CONTROL.


XYZ GRID ORTHOVIEW: Ctrl + MMB in xyz = camera to cursor or drag camera MMB in xyz = camera turns to where clicked Ctrl + Alt + Tab = View to camera on selected view Crtl + Shift + Tab = View to camera on all views

Ctrl + Alt + 1 through Ctrl + Alt + 0 = store camera position Alt + 1 through Alt + 0 = camera to stored position Alt + RMB on item in camview = camera to item centre (but keeps your current orientation)

Move: Arrow keys = forward/back/strafe left/right D & C = Move vertically up and down A & Z = Tilt up and down END = horizontal view (ie, not tilted up or down)

Move selection in orthoview: LMB Drag with mouse pointing within the selection. To move in one plane only: Hold down LMB, THEN shift (NOT shift then LMB!) and then drag either left right (only) else up down (only) Alternative: Alt + arrow key on selection

XYZ ORTHOVIEWS: Ctrl + tab = cycles through top, front, side views AND... moves view centre to selected item ELSE... moves centre to camera if nothing selected. Zoom in and out with MMB

Selecting : shift + Lclick* = select or add to already selected (if any) alt + shift + Lclick (repeatedly) = select stacked (e.g., behind, in front...) ctrl + shift + Lclick* = select face ctrl + shift + Ldrag = select all faces in rectangle dragged out. [tab] = group cycle forward = select next in entity group, eg, atdm:mover_door > related brush

  • =repeatable on multiple objects/faces
