Creation Kit Keyboard Mapping
The Creation Kit Keyboard Mapping is used when working in the Render Window. If you are editing the Navmesh, see the Navmesh Cheat Sheet.
The Creation Kit supports user-defined hotkey mapping. These bindings can be modified from the main toolbar via Edit > Render Window Hotkeys. This page is intended as a quick reference to the default key bindings.
