Unity Start Scene Shortcut Tool

Tired of constantly opening your main scene before pressing Play in Unity?

Unity Start Scene Shortcut Tool is a lightweight editor utility designed to streamline your workflow by letting you instantly define which scene Unity should start from when entering Play Mode — no matter which scene you're currently editing.

Perfect for developers working on large projects with multiple scenes, UI testing, or gameplay iteration where jumping back and forth between scenes slows down productivity.

🚀 Key Features

✅ Set Custom Start Scene
Choose any scene as your Play Mode starting point directly from a simple editor window.

✅ Play From Anywhere
Press Play while editing any scene — Unity will automatically launch from your selected start scene.

✅ Keyboard Shortcut Support
Instantly start the game using a dedicated shortcut:

Ctrl + G → Play From Start Scene

✅ One-Click Reset
Clear the start scene setting and return to Unity’s default behavior (Play Active Scene).

✅ Minimal & Lightweight
No runtime impact. Editor-only tool with zero performance overhead.
