This plugin provides various useful shortcuts for working with 2d nodes.
Pressingctrl+f moves the selected Node(s) to the cursor. This works with one or multiple nodes, and correctly adds all of its actions to the editor's Undo/Redo.
This feature adds a number of Real Time Strategy game inspired shortcuts:
Pressingctrl + a number key stores the current selection.
Pressing a number key reselects the saved group.
These selection groups are saved per scene.
In the editor settings underInterface/Selection Shortcuts are a set of fields where you can enter aNodePath or a list ofNodePaths, seperated by commas.
Pressingctrl+shift + a number key will attempt to find the nodes in the current scene, and if successful, selects them.
These selections are global, not per-scene.
This can be useful when doing level design, for instance. In my game, all the levels have a node namedSpawns that holds all of that level's spawn points. There's a special spawn point namedDev, that we use as a shortcut to spawn directly in the region we're working on. I putSpawns/Dev as one of myNodePath selections, so I can pressctrl+shift+1 in any of my levels to select the dev spawn point.
I find this is especially useful when combined with thectrl+f shortcut from above, so with two keypresses I can select the dev spawn and move it directly to my cursor.
