|
## Scene view hotkeys
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the Scene view, use the following hotkeys while moving the mouse horizontally to quickly adjust common Brush settings. Use the [Shortcuts Manager](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ShortcutsManager.html) to remap hotkeys, if needed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
| **Shortcut** | **Function** |

|
||
|
| **A** | Controls Brush strength (opacity). |
|
||
|
| **S** | Controls Brush size. |
|
||
|
| **D** | Controls Brush rotation. |
|
||
|
| **F** | If you press F while the cursor is over a Terrain tile, the Scene view focuses on the area where you position the cursor. |
|
||
|
| **Control** | Inverts the Brush effect for most Brushes; acts as a modifier for others. |
|
||
|
| **Shift** | Temporarily enables the smoothing Brush. |
|
||
|
| **Shift + A** | Enables the Terrain Layer Eyedropper tool. |
|
||
