Keyboard shortcuts

PropUI's shortcuts are shared across its lists. A shortcut acts on whichever list is the current shortcut target.

Choosing the active list

The active target is chosen by:

  • Clicking a list.
  • Pressing Shortcuts Affect This List above a list.
  • Using the Shortcuts Affect menu.
  • Some nested lists (such as Choices, Dynamic Labels, and Display Link Component Subset) expose their own shortcut-target button.

Available targets: Disabled, Entry List, Generated Layout, UI Variants, Generated UIs, Row Boxes, Visible When Items, Component Subset, Choices, Dynamic Labels, Dynamic Text, Dynamic Labels by Other Entry.

Target-specific behavior

  • Entry List: add, remove, duplicate, move, hide, collapse, parent, indent, outdent, and clear-parent affect entries.
  • Generated Layout: add imports/adds layout entries; remove removes the selected item or sub-panel; duplicate duplicates it; move moves rows/sub-panels; indent/outdent groups rows or nests/outdents sub-panels; collapse toggles the row group or sub-panel; Alt+P ungroups selected row groups.
  • UI Variants: add, remove, duplicate, move, save, and load affect variants.
  • Generated UIs: remove and move affect rows. Add/duplicate do nothing here.
  • Row Boxes: add, remove, move up/down affect row boxes.
  • Visible When Items: add, remove, move up/down affect visibility items.
  • Editor Layout: W / S move the selected staged layout row, and H toggles the selected hideable section, before Apply List State.
  • Component Subset: add, remove, move up/down affect Display Link component subset rows.
  • Choices: add, remove, duplicate, move up/down affect integer choices.
  • Dynamic Labels / Dynamic Text / Dynamic Labels by Other Entry: add, remove, duplicate, move up/down affect the active dynamic rule list.

When shortcuts fire

Shortcuts only fire when PropUI shortcuts are enabled and the current editor area is one where the PropUI editor is allowed to live. Bindings can be changed in Blender's keymap UI, or disabled entirely in Add-on Preferences.
