Settings
In Options:
- Movement: Fine speed, Normal speed, Fast speed, and Steering speed apply while running.
- Keys: change any control, then restart. Use distinct letters, digits, F1 to F12, Space, Escape, CapsLock, or Menu.
Limits
- Holding Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Cmd/Win turns pointer control off and releases its drag. Normal shortcuts pass through.
- Your physical mouse still works. The click and drag keys are ignored while its left button is held.
- Avoid other scripts that use the same keys or hold the left mouse button. Pointer settings on your computer affect the visible movement.
Stop
Stop from the editor toolbar, or press Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K (Left Control + Left Option + K on macOS) to stop all scripts. Stopping releases any drag it started.
