Let's get started!
To begin using Alkemion Studio, create a free account either by signing in with your Google or Discord account for quick access, or alternatively, register using a valid email address.
After logging in, you will be directed to The Lobby, your starting point where you can create new Modules or access existing ones.
The application features a series of short tours designed to familiarize you with the major elements of the user interface. We strongly recommend completing these tours before using Alkemion Studio. Each tour will be automatically triggered as you navigate through the application.
Undo/Redo
Before you start, you should know that most actions in Alkemion Studio can be undone (and redone). Use the "undo" and "redo" buttons in the interface or the keyboard shortcuts:
- Ctrl + Z to undo the last action
- Ctrl + Y (or Ctrl + Shift + Z) to redo the last action
Undo and redo are context-sensitive. You can only undo or redo actions within the same interface where the action occurred. For example, actions on the board can be undone while on the board but not while the Editor is open. Each context has its own undo/redo history.
The list of actions currently stored in the undo/redo stack is displayed in the Action History panel, right under the Node Tree.
NB: reloading the application will clear the undo/redo action stack.
Controls and Keyboard Shortcuts
Access all keyboard shortcuts by clicking the Controls button in the top toolbar. The Controls window includes a search feature to quickly find specific shortcuts. We recommend familiarizing yourself with these shortcuts to enhance your workflow.
The Controls window also lets you specify if you're using a mouse or a trackpad to optimize your pan and zoom experience on the Board.
