Replay controls & keyboard shortcuts
Move through rounds, follow players and control the camera without losing your place.
Move through the match
Use the timeline and round selector for broad navigation, then step through ticks or recorded events for a closer look. The Keys button opens the in-app shortcut guide; F1 also opens that guide.

Play, pause and speed
Use Play / Pause or Space. Choose a speed such as 0.5×, 1× or 2× in the bottom toolbar.
Camera and display
The right side of the toolbar contains camera, HUD, X-ray and scoreboard controls.
Open the shortcut guide
Select Keys for the keyboard reference. Fullscreen is available above the picture and at the end of the toolbar.

Players and the viewport
Choose a recorded player in the replay tools or use the player keys. Fullscreen gives the viewport more room; the Tools button shows or hides the replay tools.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| 1–9 / 0 | Select a HUD player |
| Tab (hold) | Show the scoreboard |
| F / F11 | Toggle fullscreen |
| Esc | Close the scoreboard or leave fullscreen |
Camera and display
The default keys are C for cycling camera, G for free camera, X for X-ray, H for HUD and M for radar. You can customize these five keys in Settings.
In free camera, hold the right mouse button to look, use W/A/S/D to move, Q/Z to move vertically, and Shift to move faster. Release the right mouse button to stop. Typing fields and open menus keep their keys; F11 remains available while editing.
