Hi, I already knew all these commands because I tried spamming every key on the keyboard (I wish I had looked for your article before doing it 🤣), do you know if it’s possibile to add more custom shortcuts to other parameters?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Dario,
You can add custom shortcuts in:
Editor Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Material editor
But as far as I see there is no option to add custom shortcuts to node creation commands..
Thank you so much for this great reference! I had forgotten these shortcuts since I have been away from UE4 for several years… 🙂
Glad you found this useful! 🙂
Oded awesome job… some more that might help
Shift + C + LMB gets you component mask
P + LMB gets a panner
D + LMB gets a divide
Cool trick is align nodes by shift + W/A/S/D
W aligns to the top
A aligns to the left
S aligns to the bottom
D aligns to the right
Thanks Paul!
A few more to your list:
(A) Add
(E) Power
(O) 1-x
(N) Normalize
(B) BumpOffset
(R) Reflection Vector
(I) IF
Thanks Paul! 🙂
