Keyboard Shortcuts for Modeling mode

Hello folks,

So, I’m pretty new to Unreal Engine Modeling tools, I’ve poked around using the buttons and such, but now i’m wanted to get serious, and modeling with the menu buttons is very slow. All I’m trying to do is block out an environment, so I want to set keyboard shortcuts for the modeling tools, like “B” for Bevel, “E” for Extrude, etc to speed up the process. I’ve added the shortcuts in preferences but when i go to use them they don’t work, with the exception of spacebar for “Accept”. I’ve tried to resolve any conflicting shortcuts with other tools, but even then it still doesn’t work. It IS saving my shortcuts because they are still there when i close and reopen preferences, they just arent working. Does anyone with more experience have any insight on why my shortcuts arent working and how to resolve the issue? I’ve already googled and searched the forums but have not seen anything addressing the exact problem i’m having. I’m running Unreal Engine 5.5.1. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

For anyone who may be interested or need this fix, I resolved this issue. This video indirectly gave me the answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIMudHNX9JM

The problem was that I needed to activate “Mesh Element Selection” in the modeling tools settings so that the “Select Menu” would become visible after exiting and reentering modeling Mode. The select menu exposes some nifty selection tools as well as common modeling tools such as Extrude, Bevel, Etc. After doing this my custom modeling shortcuts now work.
