These are modal on the right mouse button: while you hold RMB they fly the camera, and the same keys act as their normal shortcuts when you are not holding it, so the two grammars share letters without clashing. Rebind one to a NON-letter key (an arrow, say) and it flies with no button held, which does make it clash with anything else on that key.

Brush: smaller	`[`	yes
Brush: larger	`]`	yes
Run erosion	`K`	yes

Brush: stronger	`.`	yes

Nudge

Action	Default	Rebindable
Nudge −X	`Ctrl+LeftArrow`	yes
Nudge +X	`Ctrl+RightArrow`	yes
Nudge +Z	`Ctrl+UpArrow`	yes
Nudge −Z	`Ctrl+DownArrow`	yes

Pointer (fixed)

Action	Default	Rebindable
Pick flatten height	`Ctrl+RMB`	no, fixed pointer grammar
Join path	`Ctrl+LMB`	no, fixed pointer grammar
Insert path node	`Ctrl+RMB`	no, fixed pointer grammar
Brush size/strength drag	`Alt+LMB`	no, fixed pointer grammar
Pick from overlapping prefabs	`Shift+LMB`	no, fixed pointer grammar
Snap a drag to other prefabs	`Alt+LMB`	no, fixed pointer grammar

Documents

Action	Default	Rebindable
Switch map / prefab workspace	`F4`	yes
Save the active document	`Ctrl+S`	yes
Save the active document (second key)	`Ctrl+Shift+S`	yes
Save As, to a new file	`Ctrl+Alt+S`	yes

Tool value

Action	Default	Rebindable
Tool value down: brush size, or the selection’s scale	`-`	yes
Tool value up: brush size, or the selection’s scale	`=`	yes
Second value down: brush strength, or turn the selection	`;`	yes
Second value up: brush strength, or turn the selection	`'`	yes
Tool value steps: coarse or fine	`\`	yes

These change the active tool’s value. With Sculpt or a Paint tool, the first pair sets the brush size and the second pair its strength. With Select, Move, Rotate or Scale and prefabs selected, the first pair scales the selection evenly about its center and the second turns it about the vertical axis; locked prefabs stay put, and a run of presses is one undo step. In any other tool they do nothing. The steps key switches between coarse steps (the default) and much finer ones. The keys suit a dial: on a Stream Deck +, give a dial the Hotkey action with these keys for turn left, turn right and push.

Not in the table (fixed, and not shown in the Preferences panel)

These are fixed and not shown in Preferences.

Input	What it does
Hold `RMB`	Fly the camera. Move with the Camera keys above (`W`/`A`/`S`/`D` plus `Q`/`E` by default).
`LMB` drag from empty ground in Select	Box select (hold `Ctrl` to add, `Alt` to remove).
`0` to `7`	Pick the paint channel while a paint tool is active. The digit is intrinsic, not a keybind.
`Ctrl` + digit	Recall selection group 1 to 9. On an empty group with prefabs selected, it sets the group instead.
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + digit	Set selection group 1 to 9 from the current selection.
`Backspace`	Convenience alias for Delete.
`F9`	Run the diagnostic report (also HELP, Run diagnostics report): it saves a diagnostic report and screenshots. Attach that folder when you report a bug.
`F10`	Single diagnostic screenshot.
