Hotkeys and Keybinding Shortcuts

A hotkey is a key or key combination that provides quick access to a specific function. These are also called shortcut keys or keybindings.

This page is about the hotkeys available when you're in Create mode on a Fortnite Creative island.

The hotkeys for Create mode may be different from the hotkeys used when playing a Fortnite game.

Active hotkeys are shown on the left side of the screen. The hotkey menu changes based on what you're doing.

Use Pickaxe Hotkeys

There are two basic sets of hotkeys when you have your pickaxe equipped.

You can toggle between the pickaxe and the phone tool by pressing the ` (backtick) key above the Tab key on your keyboard.

Pickaxe (Default)

If you're holding your pickaxe, you will see:

Pickaxe While Flying

If you double-tap the spacebar, the menu expands because you're now flying with your pickaxe.
