Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize keyboard shortcuts in VRoid Studio?
No. VRoid Studio does not currently support custom key bindings. The shortcuts listed in this guide are fixed and cannot be changed.
Do shortcuts work the same on Mac and Windows?
Most shortcuts are identical, with Ctrl on Windows replaced by Cmd on Mac. Camera controls and brush size shortcuts are the same on both platforms.
Do the number key camera shortcuts work on a laptop without a numpad?
Yes. The camera angle shortcuts use the regular number keys along the top of the keyboard, not the numpad. They work on any standard keyboard layout.
Are there shortcuts for switching between editor tabs?
VRoid Studio does not currently have keyboard shortcuts for switching between the Face, Hair, Body, Clothing, and other editor tabs. You need to click the tabs manually.

Final Thoughts
