About Godot Engine and its shortcuts

Godot is a game engine, and its editor shortcuts cover the loop of building a scene and running it: moving between the scene and script editors, playing the project or the current scene, and the viewport tools for placing nodes.

Godot's editor settings expose every binding, and the engine has moved commands between major versions. Some commands only apply in the 2D or the 3D editor, which share a window but not a keyboard.
