What does the X,Y, or Z does?

Support Basics & Interface
1

What does any of these keys do (Pressing X,Y, or Z)

Just in case its while you extrude correct?

2

X will delete the selected vertexes, Y will split them from the rest of your mesh, and I don’t know what Z will do.

3

Pressing the Z key togggles the Viewport Shading method between Wireframe and Solid.

If you press the S key before pressing the X, Y, or Z key then it will scale an object along the X, Y or Z axis.
The G and then the X, Y, Z key will move along that axis. The R and then the X, Y, Z key will rotate around that axis.

When doing an extrusion, the X,Y keys will restrict the extrusion to the X or Y axis. The Z key will allow you to move freely.

Oh yes! I remembered the X!

But here in the screenshot I’m using the Y to split so the question is how does it go?
