About keybindings or keyboard shortcuts, it's hard to tell if a keybind / shortcut has been defined somewhere already. I can't search it in the search bar (Editor Preferences) and it seems like no error pops up if a keybind has been defined somewhere else. Blender does it well for reference.

A series of tips for beginners is actually pretty neat. I hope you guys consider making something similar for c++ devs, maybe a intermediate/advanced kind of series.

My tips:

-use bookmarks to navigate every level you're working on
-Get at least 2 layouts that you like for different needs and save them for quick loading
-Turn off autosave
-Backup regularly

This is how all the UE4 education videos should be. Simple, to the point, clear in explanation. The other videos seem like nothing more than job security for sales managers explaining how functional UE4 is without teaching us how to properly use those functions. If you want a percentage of my gross, you need to be proficient at teaching me how to utilize your engine efficiently and effectively, not trying to sell me on using it. Alex's hosted live "educator" videos are a train-wreck, so are the recent "educator" live streams. Give devs and experts the driver seat. Completely remove the so called managers, they can go sell used cars at the auto mall or something.
