Tip: Don’t try to learn all shortcuts at once. For example, all shortcuts in section “Interactions” are also available from the Object context menu (right click on any component), and their respective shortcuts are listed there as well, so you can learn them over time. As a starting point, we have highlighted a few shortcuts we believe are worth learning right away in yellow.
When working on your game (editing it, not playing it), it can take a lot of time to navigate around the component structure in the menu bar on the left. The following shortcuts make this navigation a breeze:

| Edit the Variant of the currently selected Object | V |
| Edit the selected Object | |

| Copy / Paste an Object | Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V |
| Delete an Object | Backspace |
