Default Shortcuts
This is a list with RealFlow's default user interface shortcuts. Some of the most common shortcuts (copy, paste, cut, open, save, etc.) have been omitted because they are easy to find. Some of the shortcuts have a focus: this means that the user has to position the cursor at a certain place before pressing the appropriate key combination. This is typical for shortcuts like Alt + D that enables/disables the viewport. Normally it is needed to click on the viewport before the keys are pressed.
