Viewport Hotkeys

When the viewport window is open, and the environment is being ticked (with calls to tick() or step(), there are a few hotkeys you can use.

Hotkeys

The AgentFollower, or the camera that the viewport displays, can be manipulated as follows:

Key	Action	Description
c	Toggle camera mode	Toggles the camera from a chase camera and perspective camera, which shows what the agent’s camera sensor sees.
v	Toggle spectator mode	Toggles spectator mode, which allows you to free-cam around the world.
w a s d	Move camera	Move the viewport camera around when in spectator/free-cam mode.
q ctrl	Descend	For spectator/free-cam mode
e space	Ascend	For spectator/free-cam mode
shift	Turbo	Move faster when in spectator/free-cam
tab	Cycle through agents	When not in spectator/free-cam mode, cycles through the agents in the world
h	Toggle HUD	The HUD displays the name and location of the agent the viewport is following, or the location of the camera if the viewport is detached (spectator mode) Note that this will interfere with the ViewportCapture sensor
