Keyboard shortcuts and the command palette

Use the command palette and shortcut sheet to work faster in Canvas and Table modes.

Open the two command surfaces

• Press Cmd/Ctrl+K to open the command palette and search editor actions.

• Press Cmd/Ctrl+/, or choose Help → Keyboard shortcuts, to open the complete shortcut sheet.

Essential editing shortcuts

• Cmd/Ctrl+Z: Undo

• Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z or Cmd/Ctrl+Y: Redo

• Cmd/Ctrl+D: Duplicate selected layers, or selected Visuals when no layer is selected

• Delete/Backspace: Delete the current layer or Visual selection

• Cmd/Ctrl+C, X, V: Copy, cut, and paste

• Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V: Paste in place

• Cmd/Ctrl+G / Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+G: Group / ungroup

• Arrow keys: Nudge 1 px; hold Shift for 10 px

Selection and visibility

• Cmd/Ctrl+A: Select all selectable layers in the current scope

• Cmd/Ctrl+click: Deep-select inside a group

• Shift+Enter: Select the Visual containing the active layer

• Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L: Lock or unlock selected layers

• Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+H: Show or hide selected layers

Canvas and panels

• V or M: Move tool

• H: Hand tool

• Space: Temporary pan

• R: Rectangle

• O: Ellipse

• T: Text

• F: New Visual

• Cmd/Ctrl+\ or Cmd/Ctrl+B: Hide or show the side panels

Table mode

Table mode adds spreadsheet-style navigation, cell editing, copy/cut/paste, fill down, clear cells, image preview, and filtering shortcuts. Open the shortcut sheet while Table mode is active for the canonical key combinations.

Tip

Shortcut labels adapt to macOS and Windows. When a text or image field is actively editing, its editing shortcuts take priority over canvas actions.
