    GameMaker Start / End of Line Shortcut no longer works after update

    Hi, after the most recent update (2024.2), the shortcuts for going to the start and end of lines no longer works. I am on Mac, so my shortcuts are usually Command+Left or Command+Right. My Command+Delete still works to remove the entire line of code up to the cursor's position, and my...

    Question - IDE Sprite editor rectangular selection tool CMD (add to) and ALT (subtract from) not working.

    (SOLVED) Lag issue, but solved ONLY when ALT+ENTER?

    Hi everyone, for a long time I have been fighting lag in my game. The lag did do something good however; I learned to optimize so many things, that the lag was reduced by a ton. I can basically have like 2000 instances running a small (but clever) amount of code and the lag doesn't really...

    Mac OSX IDE/Script Editor - Right CMD Key Shortcuts not working

    I've run into a bizarre issue when using the Script Editor on a 2015 Macbook Pro, and I did not see any similar issues after searching the forum. I'm able to use the Left CMD key for all of the standard keyboard shortcuts (cut, copy, select all, etc), but the Right CMD key is only limited to...

     Close dialogs and workspace objects with shortcuts

    Hi, would it be possible to add a shortcut to close dialogs like the prefs, the color picker or sprite selectot? Imho "esc" would make sense. Would it be possible to add a shortcut to close "objects" (or how you call them) on the workspace like sprite windows or object windows? Imho "ctrl +...

     Focus onto resource name when creating resource?

    Hi, would it be possible when creating a resource using a shortcut (eg. "alt + s" for creating a sprite) to set the focus into the resource' name field or maybe even better onto the filename inside the resource tree? (see screenshot) It's not very intuitive to create a resource with a shortcut...

    Question - IDE GM2 Room "alt-left-click" shortcut not working in room editor

    So in game maker 2 in the room editor you're able to sort of "tile" instances (like 32x32 walls) by alt-left clicking and dragging which makes level editing 1000x faster and more convenient... However, a couple of days ago this feature/shortcut has stopped working entirely, now I'm forced to...
