Engee hotkeys

You can use keyboard shortcuts to control the windows (tools) of the Engee workspace. To open the hotkey help, apply the combination Shift+?:

hotkeys main 1

Some Engee hotkeys may not work properly on Linux and macOS operating systems due to specific metacharacters, system hotkeys or other software/hardware settings.

Basic principles

On macOS, use Command (⌘) instead of Ctrl, and Option (⌥) instead of Alt. In some cases Ctrl may be used, check the description of the desired combination.
The Engee hotkeys do not conflict with browser key combinations.

Working with Engee windows is based on the concept of universal prefixes, each of which allows you to control the corresponding action:

G (Go) - go and make the window active;

O (Open) - open and do not make the window active;

The command G (Go) not only opens the specified window, but also makes it active, which allows you to start working immediately. The O (Open) command opens the window but does not make it active, leaving the previous window active.

C (Close) - close the active window;

Using the space bar you can close/open the active window.
C+A (Close+All) - close all windows;
M (maximise) - maximize the active window.

For each Engee window an abbreviated name is assigned:

Window	Abbreviation	Explanation
Files	`F`	Files
Variables	`W`	Workspace
Blocks Library	`B`	Blocks Library
Editor	`E`	Editor
Model	`M`	Model
Command Window	`C`	Command Window

Navigation through Engee windows is done by combining universal prefixes (G, O, C, M) and abbreviated window names. For example, for a window File Browser :

G+F (Go Files) - go to File Browser (open the window and make it active);
O+F (Open Files) - open File Browser (open a window and do not make it active);
C+F (Close Files) - close File Browser;
M+F (Maximise Files) - maximize the window File Browser.

You can also use the Tab key to switch between windows:

Tab management of Engee windows is implemented by the following combinations:
