To those watching from the outside, it looks like a ghost is operating
the editor. Windows appear and vanish in the blink of an eye, powerful
menus materialize and disappear while the mouse barely moves. That's
where the name comes from and that's the experience Phantom Navigator
is built to give you.
─── ACTION PALETTES ───────────────────────────────────────
You give orders. The engine executes.
Press a shortcut, type what you want, hit Enter. That's it. No hunting
through menus, no fighting your own memory, no mouse. Don't worry about
where Project Settings lives. Don't try to remember which submenu hides
the Preferences button. Just type.
Almost every action you'd normally reach for the mouse to do is now a
command. Creating folders, scripts, GameObjects, selecting objects,
renaming, loading scenes, aligning, parenting. All commands. And if
something is missing, you can add your own custom actions without writing
a single line of code.
Give your mouse a rest. Learn to command your engine.
─── FUZZY SEARCH ──────────────────────────────────────────
You remember it existed. You just don't remember exactly where.
Type approximately what you recall and Fuzzy Search finds the closest
matching lines across your entire codebase without leaving the Editor.
Anyone who works with Unity knows the mental cost of constantly switching
context between the Editor and the IDE. Alt+Tab, lose your place,
Alt+Tab back. It adds up. Fuzzy Search eliminates that friction entirely.
Shift+F, type, consult, dismiss. Zero alt-tabs. Zero context loss.
─── SCENE NAVIGATOR ───────────────────────────────────────
If the goal is to avoid the mouse as much as possible, we need a way to
work in the Scene View without it. Scene Navigator lets you position
GameObjects using only the arrow keys. Switching between Top, Right, and
Perspective views, snapping to a grid, aligning to surfaces. Simple,
effective, and surprisingly elegant.
─── PIN BOARD ─────────────────────────────────────────────
This one is a personal revolt against a specific pain.
On real large projects, you're constantly consulting other folders, for
reference, for naming conventions, for copy-paste. The problem is the
Project window has only one context. Navigate away and you lose where you
were. Navigate back and you lose where you came from.
Pin Board solves this. Pin the folder with the file names you need to
reference. Pin the folder you're actively working in. Keep both visible
at the same time, switch between them instantly, never lose your place
again. Your context is safe.
