Customize actions with keyboard shortcuts and shiftcuts in Msty Studio

How to Use Keyboard Shortcuts

In Msty Studio, you can customize shortcuts for various actions so that you can perform them quickly without needing to navigate through menus. This is particularly useful for power users who want to streamline their workflow.

You can access the keyboard shortcuts settings in Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts. Here, you can view the current shortcuts and customize them to suit your preferences. You can also reset them to their default values if needed.

Some actions have a default shortcut assigned, which you can use that shortcut or customize to your liking.

Spell Check Toggle (Desktop)

For Desktop users, Msty Studio provides an option to disable the built-in spell check feature. This is particularly useful for developers writing code or for users whose language isn't supported well by the spell checker. When disabled, the red underlines for unrecognized words will no longer appear.

How to Toggle Spell Check

Open General Settings

Go to Settings > General.

Find Spell Check Option

Scroll down to locate the spell check toggle.

Change and Restart

Switch the spell check setting as desired, then restart the application for the changes to take full effect.

How to Use Shiftcuts

Shiftcuts are a set of keyboard shortcuts that allow you to quickly access common tasks in Msty Studio. By pressing the shift key twice in quick succession, you can activate a mode that enables you to perform various actions without needing to navigate through menus or use the mouse.

To activate Shiftcuts, simply press the shift key twice quickly. This will enable the Shiftcut mode, allowing you to use the following shortcuts. You will then need to press the corresponding key for the action you want to perform before the mode times out. When you double click the shift key, you will see a yellow up icon that displays - you'll have until this icon disappears to press the corresponding key for the action you want to perform.

Press the following keys to perform the corresponding actions:
