Keyboard shortcuts
The full list. Almost every one has a button in the interface too, but the keyboard is faster.
Shortcuts stay inactive while the cursor is in a text field — so you can type a screen name containing "v" without pasting a copy.
General
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + Z | Undo |
| Ctrl + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Z | Redo |
| Space + left button | Pan the canvas |
| Middle mouse button | Pan the canvas |
| Mouse wheel | Zoom to the cursor |
Editor
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Delete or Backspace | Delete the selected screen or the whole selection |
| Ctrl + C | Copy |
| Ctrl + X | Cut |
| Ctrl + V | Paste at the cursor |
| Ctrl + D | Duplicate (Ctrl + Shift + D works too — in Chrome on Windows Ctrl + D is taken by bookmarks) |
| Arrow keys | Nudge by 1 |
| Shift + arrows | Nudge by 10 |
| Shift + click | Add or remove a screen from the selection |
Hold an arrow key down and the whole run counts as one action: undo returns the screen to where it started, not one step back.
CUSTOM mode
Here the keys act on the cabinets inside a screen, and the clipboard is separate from the one holding screens.
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Delete or Backspace | Delete the selected cabinets |
| Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V | Copy and paste cabinets |
| Ctrl + Z / Ctrl + Y | Undo and redo inside the mode |
| Shift + click | Select several cabinets |
| Esc | Deselect the cabinet card |
Ctrl + D and the arrow keys are deliberately disabled here: they would act on the whole screen, bypassing the draft you are editing.
Patch mode
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys | Append the nearest cabinet in that direction to the active port chain |
| Esc | Cancel a route drag, an armed pattern, or reverse mode |
Export mode
Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y drive the history of overlays — logos and captions on top of the image — not the project. Delete, duplicate and the arrow keys are disabled in export so you can't alter the composition by accident while exporting.
Add screen form
+, Enter or Space in the height field adds a row of cabinets of a different model (a mixed screen).
Touch screen
| Gesture | Action |
|---|---|
| Long press on a screen (~0.5 s) | Context menu — the same as a right click |
| Long press on the eyedropper button | Switches it to "copy every setting" instead of colors only |
| One finger on empty space | Pan the canvas |
| Two fingers | Zoom |
| Tap a screen card | Place a copy in the center of the visible area |
