Keyboard Shortcuts and Search
Search
Search in the top bar, or Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac), finds settings, actions and objects from anywhere:
- Settings: type a setting's name, or what you want to change: "stringing" finds the retraction settings. Choosing one opens it, highlighted.
- Actions: slice, arrange, fill the plate with copies of the selected object, add a plate, change the printer or process, add a filament, switch theme, open from Printago, save, download.
- Objects: type an object's name to select it, on whichever plate it's on.
Use ↑ and ↓ to move through the results, Enter to choose, and Esc to close.
Keyboard shortcuts
Studio uses the keyboard shortcuts of Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer, so the keys you know from either work here, whichever engine you choose. Press ? to see them all.
On a Mac, use ⌘ where these tables say Ctrl.
