Shortcuts provide a consistent access to Kanzi resources. You can use shortcuts to access resources both in Kanzi Studio and Kanzi Engine. Because while creating your application in Kanzi Studio you move resources, such as composers, textures, and materials in the project, the easiest way to keep track of them in code is to use shortcuts. You can retrieve shortcut target items in application code using the name of the shortcut, regardless of their location in the project. See Using shortcuts.
Aliases provide a consistent access to Kanzi objects. You can use aliases to access objects both in Kanzi Studio and Kanzi Engine. See Aliases.
Shortcuts are not default shortcut keys that provide quick access to commands in Kanzi Studio. See Default shortcut keys.
