Keyboard Shortcuts & Controls

Speed up your workflow with the Studio keyboard shortcuts and direct canvas interactions.

01

Keyboard Shortcuts

The Studio supports keyboard shortcuts for the actions you use most. The exact set may grow over time, but these are the core ones.

ShortcutAction
SpacebarPlay / pause the simulation
EscExit / close the current overlay
Ctrl + ZUndo
Ctrl + Y (or Ctrl + Shift + Z)Redo
Alt + SQuick save action
SMode action in Escape mode
Shift + Alt + RReset shortcut
BMode action in Spiral mode
Pro Tip

Spacebar and Ctrl+Z are the two you will use constantly — play/pause to check a change, undo to step back from one you do not like.

02

Interacting with the Canvas

Beyond shortcuts, several modes let you interact with the canvas directly — for example placing or nudging elements with the mouse. When a mode supports direct interaction, the relevant control appears in its settings section. Combine direct interaction with pause (Spacebar) to set things up precisely before you play.

03

On Mobile

On a touch device you build and preview with taps and drags instead of a keyboard. The full control set is available, though final high-resolution exports are best done on a desktop. You can also install Fun Circle Games as a web app (Add to Home Screen) for a more app-like experience.
