Keyboard shortcuts
// every key the app actually binds — nothing aspirational
This list is read off the shipped code. If a key isn’t here, the app doesn’t bind it. Most things in bdibranding are clicks by design; the keys below are the ones worth memorising.

Station camera (outside REFIT)
These move the 3D view while REFIT is closed. The letter keys work while the pointer rests on the station view (Settings › COMFORT › CAMERA KEYS WHILE POINTING AT THE VIEW can limit them to when the view has focus). The arrow keys and Home need the view focused, or the pointer resting on it with nothing else focused. None of them fire while you are typing in a field.
