Keyboard Shortcuts

There are a huge number of keyboard shortcuts available for GameMaker, and although most of them are marked in the IDE next to the menu items that they relate to, not all of them are or are obvious to the user at the start. Here you can find a complete list of all the keyboard shortcuts for an easy reference guide. Some of the shortcuts are accessed by typing a hotkey chord.

In general, shortcuts fall into the following three categories:

Global - Global shortcuts are those that work no matter where you are in the GameMaker IDE, unless your focus is on a specific window or gadget which overrides it.
Window - Window shortcuts are those that are specific to a single window or tab, unless a gadget shortcut overrides it.
Gadget - Gadget shortcuts are very specific and will only work when using a single gadget (the colour picker, for example).

NOTE You can change shortcuts in the Redefine Keys Preferences.

Below is the complete list of shortcuts, broken into sections based on editors. An empty table cell indicates that a shortcut is unassigned by default.
