Keyboard shortcuts
The keys that make blocking a 3D scene fast.
To see this list in the editor, click '?' at the top right, then 'Keyboard shortcuts'.
The keys below are for Mac. On Windows, use Ctrl wherever it says Cmd. Starting out, learn four: G to move, Space to play, 3 to look through the shot camera, and M to draw a movement path.

Esc finishes a movement path while you are drawing one. Otherwise it closes the editor, and the scene is saved.
That's the full set of 3D scene shortcuts on Morphic. Learn the view keys early, since you switch views constantly while blocking.
