Keyboard shortcuts

Bilup has keyboard shortcuts for the common editor actions, and they are rebindable. Shortcuts shown with Ctrl use Ctrl on Windows and Linux and ⌘ (Command) on macOS.

Some features have their own keys that are not in this manager, such as the find bar (Ctrl+F), bookmarks (Ctrl+Alt+T and Ctrl+Alt+1 to 0), the variable manager (Ctrl+Shift+V), and pause (Alt+X).

The shortcut manager​

Open Settings and go to the Keyboard Shortcuts page. It lists every rebindable shortcut, grouped by category, with a search box.

  • To change one, click its pencil button, then press the new key combination. Escape cancels. If the combination is already used, the manager tells you which action holds it and refuses the clash.
  • A changed shortcut shows a Reset to default button, and a Reset all to defaults button appears once you have any custom bindings.

Your custom bindings are saved to your browser and sync to your account when you are signed in, so they follow you across devices.
