Keyboard shortcuts
In the labeller, press ? (or the ? button in the top bar) to see the keys for the screen you are on. In Recording, the same overlay starts with tips on how the screen works.
On a Mac, ⌘ is the command key. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead. The app shows each key the way your computer names it.
Shortcuts don’t fire while you are typing in a field, or while a dialog is open.
Anywhere in the app
Section titled “Anywhere in the app”Alt+← and Alt+→ go back and forward, also in the labeller. The mouse’s back and forward buttons do the same. They don’t fire while you are typing in a field.
Everywhere in a project
Section titled “Everywhere in a project”These work on the project’s pages, not in the labeller.
