Keyboard Shortcuts

Registered Locus commands can be reassigned through Unreal Editor’s Keyboard Shortcuts settings. Context-sensitive editor keys apply only while the relevant workspace or editor has focus.

Action Default Context Configurable
Open Locus Ctrl+Shift+L Unreal Editor Yes
Quick Capture Ctrl+Alt+N Unreal Editor Yes
New Note Ctrl+N Notes workspace Yes
New Folder Ctrl+Shift+N Notes workspace Yes
Duplicate Note Ctrl+D Notes workspace Yes

Delete selected Notes Delete Notes workspace Yes
Toggle Active Note information Ctrl+Shift+I Notes workspace Yes
Toggle viewport Pins Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L Level Editor Yes
Place Pin (one Pin; press again to cancel) Ctrl+Alt+P Level Editor Yes

Place Pin is one-shot: the next valid surface click creates one Pin and ends placement. Continuous Placement Mode is started from the Pins workspace. Ctrl+Click remains native Unreal viewport selection.
