I want to create Keyboard Shorcut in Editor Viewport because I need mouse position, It can be with Blueutility or Editor Widget but I need to fire the key while im focus in viewport.

You need to create enhanced input system and bindings:

Oh that was for editor widget, i don’t think you can.

But uncle google gave me this:

>
> A tutorial explaining how to create custom keyboard shortcuts inside the Unreal Editor using commands in C++.

Thank for your answer, but i would prefer no to use c++, I see a method to detect inputs in editor, but only work when the Utility Widget is focused, maybe there is a way to use it without focus.
