The main menu bar runs along the top of the editor window. It has five menus: File, Edit, Game, Window, and Help.
File¶

F11(see Hotkeys). It does not capture the screenshot itself.Exit (
Alt+F4) — close the editor.
Edit¶

Ctrl+Z) / Redo (Ctrl+Shift+Z) — undo or redo the last editor action.Open VSCode project — open the project in VS Code. Shown only when the project has a VS Code workspace.

Ctrl+Shift+P) — pause or resume the game.Next Frame (
Ctrl+Alt+P) — advance the game by a single frame.New Editor Instance (
Ctrl+Shift+N) — start a second editor process with the same command line as this one, so it opens the same project with the same settings. Both instances write to the same project folder, so avoid editing the same scene or prefab in two windows.Reload Code (
