As the title says, I’ve been unable to remove tiles in Defold Editor 2 as I have in Editor 1. Unless the process has changed between them I have been unable to do so. I can place, but no hotkey or series of keys will allow me to remove a placed tile. I would love to blame this on my own ignorance. So if this isn’t a bug, and I’m doing something wrong. Please let me know! For now however, I’m moving back to Editor 1 to complete the tilemap and then just push the finished map to the server and continue in Editor 2. (Loving Editor 2 by the way.) ---

There are two ways to erase tiles: 1. Hold Shift and select a blank tile on your layer. This can now be used as a brush to delete tiles. 2. Select the eraser in the menu. This has the same effect as 1. ![](https://defold-forum-bucket.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/original/2X/d/d9aa859c393dedb382b7b5f683cbf450d8cf263e.png) ---

So this isn’t a bug. I’m so sorry. And thank you so very much for clearing this up for me. On a second note however. Is there an easier way to change palette other than Ctrl+Shift+T? ---

Why, what’s wrong with Ctrl+Shift+T? 🙂 No, unfortunately it’s not possible at the moment, but there will be a pass on shortcuts later, and at some stage they should be possible to configure. ---

Btw, there are some issues reported regarding shortcuts. [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20shortcut) ---

The option to configure shortcuts sounds like a wonderful idea. The problem I have with Ctrl+Shift+T is that it’s more of a creature comfort problem in one aspect, and a minor productivity issue on the other. Ctrl+Shift+T is a long way for fingers to stretch. (At least in my case on a Corsair STRAFE Keyboard) And compared to just pressing Spacebar in Editor 1, it’s two more keystrokes. “Doesn’t feel fluid” is the phrase I’m going for, I think. But again; Creature comforts, minor nitpicks. AKA My two cents that don’t mean a thing if hotkey binding is in the future. But you asked and I replied. 😁 (Also thanks for that link.) ---

I agree 100%. Shortcuts should be easy to reach. 🙂
