Keyboard Shortcuts

Using the keyboard shortcuts can be very rewarding as it can help save a lot of time. A lot of keys are pretty standard such as CTRL + C for Copy and CTRL + V for Paste Below is the full list of supported keyboard shortcuts.

  • Panning:
    • Keys: UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT or W, A, S and D.
    • If there is a selection, this will instead move your selection around.
    • Holding SHIFT will reduce the amount panned to a single unit.

TIP: Using W, A, S and D instead of arrow keys will free up your mouse hand to do the clicking.

  • Full screen:

    • Keys: ALT + ENTER or F.
    • Just like those old school shooters. Great for getting some screen real-estate, immersing yourself in content, or simply doing a presentation.

    • Keys: 1 through 7, Q and Esc.
    • Keys 1 through to 7 are quick mode keys. Press 1 for Draw, 2 for Pan, 3 for Select, 4 for Text, 5 for Files, 6 for Sticky and 7 for Links.
