Keyboard shortcuts
Every shortcut for the canvas, rider editor, and navigation.
Shortcuts make the editors much faster once you know them. Here's what's actually wired up today.
Stage plot canvas
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Select tool | V |
| Pan tool | H |
| Pan temporarily | Hold Space and drag |
| Nudge selection by 1 cm | ↑ ↓ ← → |
| Nudge by one grid step | Shift + arrow |
| Nudge by five grid steps | Shift + Alt + arrow |
| Delete selection | Delete or Backspace |
| Duplicate selection | Ctrl + D |
| Copy / cut / paste | Ctrl + C / X / V |
| Select all | Ctrl + A |
| Deselect | Esc |
| Lock / unlock selection | Ctrl + L |
| Undo | Ctrl + Z |
| Redo | Ctrl + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Z |
| Zoom | Ctrl + scroll, or pinch on a trackpad |
| Add to selection | Shift + click |
A pasted element lands 10 cm from the original so it isn't hidden underneath it. Shortcuts are ignored while you're typing in a field, so you can name an element "Vocals" without deleting it.
Saving on the canvas is the Save button in the toolbar — there's no keyboard shortcut for it yet.
Rider editor
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Save now | Ctrl + S |
| Export PDF (opens the print dialog) | Ctrl + Shift + P |
| Undo | Ctrl + Z |
| Zoom in / out | Ctrl + = / Ctrl + - |
| Reset zoom | Ctrl + 0 |
Undo knows where the cursor is: inside a text block it steps back through your typing, and outside one it steps back through structural changes like moving or removing a section.
Text formatting uses the standard shortcuts inside a section body:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Bold | Ctrl + B |
| Italic | Ctrl + I |
| Underline | Ctrl + U |
| Indent / outdent a list item | Tab / Shift + Tab |
Input list
The channel table behaves like a spreadsheet.
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Commit and move right | Tab |
| Commit and move left | Shift + Tab |
| Commit and move down | Enter |
| Cancel the edit | Esc |
| Toggle a checkbox (Own, 48V) | Space |
| Move between cells without editing | Arrow keys |
| Undo | Ctrl + Z |
Tab skips the checkbox columns so you tab through the fields you actually type in; reach a checkbox with the arrow keys.
Saving, in one line
Riders and stage plots save themselves a couple of seconds after you stop working, and the toolbar says Save or Saved so you always know where you stand. Input lists save each change as you make it. Nothing here needs a rescue plan — but glance at the indicator before closing a tab on a big change.
