Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut in Studio, grouped by what it works on. To see the list in the editor, click Shortcuts at the bottom of the left rail.
Before you start
On macOS, use ⌘ for Ctrl, ⌥ for Alt and ⌫ for Delete. Shortcuts do not work while you type in a
field or while preview is open. They act on everything you have selected, so you can change
several objects at once. If you can only view the project, just Escape, Ctrl + C and the view keys work.
