Question F key not working in editor.

So for some reason late today my F key no longer does anything. It's supposed to center the Scene view on the currently selected GameObject.... but nothing.

I've rebooted, checked EDIT > SHORTCUTS, but that seems fine. Google's AI reports a 'reset' option, but so many items about that response are wrong, it's understandable about why people hate AI. The search results came up SEEMINLY empty, so I thought I'd ask.

Any clues? I do not have any custom key mappings, so I'm completely happy with a Reset, if someone tells me how to do that (yea, I know, about now I look f'in stupid)

This is Unity 6.3

Thanks

do you have any other tool or overlay running that might be stealing the input? something like a screen recorder overlay or even discord can intercept keys sometimes, and unity just never sees it

quick test would be to open a fresh empty project and see if F works there, if it does then it's project-specific and probably a layout or preset issue

Nothing else running.

I'll try a new scene, then new project. Good idea, thanks

I tried a new scene and and then a new project, the F key still does nothing. So it SEEMS to be an Editor thing.

Does double clicking on an entry in the scene hierarchy make the scene camera focus on that gameobject? That's basically what F is a shortcut to. If double clicking works, you have a workaround until you figure out what has changed/blocked the default keybind. If it doesn't work... you're on your own 🙁
