Editor Keybinds

There are usually multiple ways to accomplish the same action, however, keyboard shortcuts are the most efficient.

NOTE

  • These are the default keybinds which may change at any time. Some editors may also allow you to change the keybinds.
  • You can find more info on Beatmapper's keybinds hereopen in new window. There are some actions that are very specific to Beatmapper that may not be noted on this page.

If this format doesn't work for you, this Google Sheetopen in new window, which this wiki page is based off of, is also available but is out of date.

ChroMapper

Strobe Generator

An advanced tool that allows you to easily generate a strobe or Chroma gradient between two (or more) selected endpoints. It allows you to set what two event types you want to strobe, as well as the two event types you wish to strobe between. You can control the strobe interval, whether or not chroma gradients can form, and much more.

Strobe Generator Window

Node Editor

An advanced tool that allows you to view and edit a selected object as it will appear in the exported map data file. You can manually edit each and every map object, allowing for a degree of control no other editor has. Essentially an easier way to JSON edit your map.
