LEBuild key guide (HTML edition) - Lezing's DN3D Resource

Lezing's DN3D Resource»Extra stuff»LEBuild key guide (HTML edition)

This guide is present in the "helpdataeng.dat" file, but it's parsed by LEBuild's interface and has its specific formatting tags. The keyboard guide was originally written in Russian and then translated to English by me and Philipp Kutin (thanks to him for some groundwork).

Note that LEBuild has many more key combinations that are not listed here, but you can familiarize yourself with them by way of the floating tips over the buttons. Be very cautious when working with LEBuild: every accidential key combination hit may have adverse effects.
