[edit] Static Camera Placement

These only work if a static camera is selected, and can give very-fine tuned control over camera angles:

• All of the normal object manipulation shortcuts also work
• Shift + Rightclick + Mousemove : rotates the camera around its Y axis
• Ctrl + Shift + Rightclick + Mousemove -> rotates the camera around its X axis
• Shift + Alt + Rightclick + Mousemove -> tilts camera around its Z axis
• Home key sets camera position to match the current view within the main area viewer.

[edit] Preview Window

A useful thing to know is that when you have a camera selected, and enable preview mode in the Properties window, the preview window will show you exactly what the camera "sees" as it would render in-game.

• Switch between tile variants: Up and Down

[edit] Misc

• Right-click toggles between Select/Paint when a terrain tool is selected.
• Ctrl + Shift + O to open module and global scripts and dialogs using a text filter.
