Work faster in the editor with shortcuts for selecting, duplicating, nudging, saving, and the command palette.

Once you're comfortable in the editor, keyboard shortcuts make everything quicker. On macOS, use Cmd wherever Ctrl is listed.

Command palette

The fastest way to find any action is the command palette: press Ctrl/Cmd + K, start typing, and run commands like undo, copy, or open a panel without hunting through menus.

Editing

ShortcutAction
Ctrl/Cmd + ZUndo
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + ZRedo (also Ctrl + Y)
Ctrl/Cmd + CCopy the selected element
Ctrl/Cmd + VPaste
Ctrl/Cmd + XCut
Ctrl/Cmd + DDuplicate the selected element
Delete / BackspaceDelete the selected element
Ctrl/Cmd + SSave now

Selecting

ShortcutAction
Ctrl/Cmd + ASelect all
Page UpSelect the parent (the container around the selection)
Page DownSelect the first child inside the selection
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + LOpen the Layers panel

Nudging position

With an element selected, the arrow keys move it by one pixel. Hold Shift with an arrow key to move it by ten pixels — handy for fine-tuning a positioned element.

ShortcutAction
← ↑ → ↓Nudge the selected element 1px
Shift + ← ↑ → ↓Nudge the selected element 10px

While you're typing in a text element or a form field, these shortcuts step aside so they don't interfere with your typing.
