Keyboard shortcuts

These work with the pointer in the BLUX Physics Graph editor.

Key	Action
`Space`	Play or pause the live simulation
`Right Arrow`	Step one frame
`Shift+Left Arrow`	Reset to the first frame
`Ctrl+B`	Bake the frame range

The keys exist only in a node editor that shows a BLUX graph. In every other editor, including the shader, compositor and Geometry Nodes editors, Blender’s own timeline keys apply. Space plays the timeline, the arrows step frames, and Shift+Left Arrow jumps to the start frame.

While a bake runs, Space says so instead of playing.
While the GPU kernels are compiling in the background, Step, Reset and Bake are unavailable and their keys fall through to Blender’s own.

You can rebind or disable each key in Preferences > Keymap > Node Editor.

In the 3D Viewport, Add > Blux Physics has:

Entry	What it does
Quick Smoke and Fire	See Quick setups.
Quick Liquid Splash	See Quick setups.
Quick Demolition	See Quick setups.
Toggle Collider	Makes the active object a collider, or removes it.
Set Up Projectile Impact	Makes the active object a high-speed projectile with swept collision.
The attribute reader	Adds the Particle Attribute Reader node group for Geometry Nodes.
Open Node Graph	Opens the graph in the node editor.
Purge All Simulation Data	Removes BLUX objects, caches and node groups. Asks to confirm.

The sidebar tab is Blux Physics Suite (N in the 3D Viewport). See The sidebar.
Overlay toggles are in the Viewport Overlays popover. See Viewport display and overlays.
Add-on settings are in Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Blux Physics Suite. See Preferences.
