VOOZH | about |
A debug hotkey (or key binding in game) is used to access hidden information and trigger advanced settings in the game through โฏ+โฏ, where key is usually a letter (AโZ), or just a single , which is used to open the debug screen. When is used as a modifier for debug hotkey combination, the debug screen is not opened (or closed if enabled).
The list for debug hotkeys can be viewed and changed under the "Debug" section of "Options" โ "Controls" โ "Key Binds".
Some debug hotkeys may be disabled by reduced_debug_info game rule.
