Short answer: Forge keeps its shortcut set small and surface-specific. Two work everywhere: Ctrl/Cmd+B toggles the navigation rail, and Esc closes whatever overlay is open (or exits Preview). Writing on the Stage, the Script view, the timeline, and the title-screen editor each add a handful of their own, listed below.
Everywhere
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl/Cmd+B | Show or hide the navigation rail (ignored while you're typing in a text field) |
| Esc | Close the open overlay or panel; exit Preview |
Writing on the Stage
While editing a line directly on the stage:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Save the line and keep writing on a fresh one |
| Shift+Enter | Line break within the line |
| Ctrl/Cmd+Enter | Save and exit |
| Ctrl/Cmd+Up / Down | Jump to the previous or next dialogue line in the scene - your edit saves first |
| Esc | Discard changes and exit |
Script view
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| F2 | Rename the selected scene, character, or variable |
| Ctrl/Cmd+P | Open the symbol picker |
Standard code-editor shortcuts (folding, completion, jumping between problems) also work in the Script view.
Timeline
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl/Cmd+click | Select multiple events |
| Shift+click | Select the whole run - every event between the one you are on and the one you click |
| Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+click | Add that run to the current selection instead of replacing it |
| Delete | Remove the selected event(s) - asks for confirmation unless you turn that off in Forge's settings |
Title-screen editor
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Space | Play / pause the intro |
| Home | Replay from the start |
| End | Jump to the settled (idle) state |
| Arrow keys | Nudge the selected element (hold Shift for larger steps) |
| Delete | Remove the selected layer |
