1. Introduction

This is a list of all the command shortcut keys and key-mouse functions in QeRadiant and Q3Radiant. Please note that there are some commands that work in QeRadiant and not in Q3Radiant and vice versa. This is mainly because those are actually 2 different map editors for 2 very different game engines (Quake II and Quake III Arena) even though they share a common interface. But unless otherwise specified, the commands in this list work for both editors. Also note that in QeRadiant, there are some functions that work when selected from the menus but for which the shortcut key doesn't work. Whenever this is the case, this is clearly indicated with a color coded table cell.

This revised version of this list reflects all the changes and additions in Q3Radiant Build 189.

2. Shortcut key list

The commands are sorted by category and color coding was implemented in the table boxes:

• Red background:
  
  This denotes shortcut keys which are listed in the Help command list but don't work.



• Green background:
  
  This denotes shortcut keys or mouse functions which apply only to QeRadiant.



• Orange background:
  
  This denotes shortcut keys or mouse functions which apply only to Q3Radiant.



• Purple background:
  
  This denotes shortcut keys which are assigned to different features in QeRadiant and Q3Radiant.

3. Mouse Function list

This is the list of all the Mouse Functions in QeRadiant and Q3Radiant. Note that these are not shortcuts. The tasks accomplished by the mouse cannot be found in the menus. They provide much of the essential functionality in QeRadiant/Q3Radiant when designing maps.

Radiant's user interface includes many productivity features and is a very powerful tool. It's no wonder that it's the editor of choice for professional and amateur map designers alike. But it's true power is unleashed when you use a 3-Button mouse. Several extremely useful power features, especially when it comes to texturing, are only accessible if you use a 3-Button mouse. Many people own one nowadays and if you use QeRadiant regularly, I strongly recommend you get one.

The commands were sorted by category and abbreviations were used to make it easier for me to fit the shortcut names in the table boxes:

• LEFT-SIDE BUTTON or LEFT-CLICK = LEFTBUT



• MIDDLE BUTTON or MIDDLE-CLICK = MIDBUT



• RIGHT-SIDE BUTTON or RIGHT-CLICK = RIGHTBUT
  
  The action of these 3 abbreviations mean: click once




• LEFT-CLICK & DRAG = LEFTBUT+DRAG



• MIDDLE-CLICK & DRAG = MIDBUT+DRAG



• RIGHT-CLICK & DRAG = RIGHTBUT+DRAG
  
  The action of these last 3 abbreviations mean: click once, hold down button and drag mouse.

Also, as with most applications, the action of the mouse is context-sensitive meaning that the same Mouse shortcut might do a different thing depending in what view you click. This is why the categories below are sorted more by context than type.
