Debug Bindings
The combination mod + Shift + Space begins a debug binding. Debug bindings are completed by pressing an additional key. For example, pressing F may toggle texture mesh wireframes with the GL renderer. (In fact, most debug effects can be disabled again by repeating the command.) Debug bindings are often tied to specific backends.
