Keyboard Shortcuts

Regenerator 2000 is designed to be a keyboard-centric application. While it features mouse support—which is handy for scrolling through different views—you'll find that the keyboard shortcuts are often a more efficient way to navigate and interact with the program.

The shortcut scheme follows a simple logic:

Block Type Operations: These are usually a single letter or Shift + letter (e.g., c for Code, b for Byte).
Dialogs & Application Actions: Operations that open a dialog or perform application-level tasks typically use Ctrl + letter or Alt + letter.

We've tested these shortcuts extensively across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and in various terminal environments ( including inside tmux). Wherever a standard shortcut might conflict with a reserved key combination (like Ctrl+2 in tmux), we've provided alternatives (e.g., Alt+2).
