These are modal on the right mouse button: while you hold RMB they fly the camera, and the same keys act as their normal shortcuts when you are not holding it, so the two grammars share letters without clashing. Rebind one to a NON-letter key (an arrow, say) and it flies with no button held, which does make it clash with anything else on that key.

Not in the table (fixed, and not shown in the Preferences panel)
Section titled “Not in the table (fixed, and not shown in the Preferences panel)”These are intrinsic to the control scheme rather than registered actions, so they appear in no panel. They are listed here because that is exactly why users cannot find them.
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
Hold RMB | Fly the camera. Move with the Camera keys above (W/A/S/D plus Q/E by default). |
LMB drag from empty ground in Select | Box select (hold Ctrl to add, Alt to remove). |
0 to 7 | Pick the paint channel while a paint tool is active. The digit is intrinsic, not a keybind. |
Ctrl + digit | Recall selection group 1 to 9. On an empty group with prefabs selected, it sets the group instead. |
Ctrl + Shift + digit | Set selection group 1 to 9 from the current selection. |
Backspace | Convenience alias for Delete. |
F9 | Run the diagnostic report (also HELP, Run diagnostics report): it flies a set route, samples FPS and writes a report folder plus screenshots. Attach that folder when you report a bug. |
F10 | Single diagnostic screenshot. |
