Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard binding in the editor and the player, grouped by the surface that owns it.
Press ? anywhere in the editor to open the in-app cheatsheet. That
dialog is the source of truth, and this page is the same list in a form you can
search. If the two ever disagree, believe the app.
Mod is Ctrl on Windows and Linux, Cmd on macOS. The
cheatsheet detects your platform and prints the right one.
Shell
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| Mod + K | Command palette / jump |
| ? | Open this cheatsheet |
| Mod + Alt + 1 / 2 / 3 | Fold scenes / script / panels |
| Mod + Z | Undo structure (Shift redoes) |
| Tab | First stop: skip to script |
Navigator and chapter rail
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| Up / Down | Move between rows |
| Enter | Open scene or chapter |
| F2 | Rename |
| Mod + D | Duplicate scene |
| Delete | Delete (asks first) |
| Alt + Up / Down | Reorder scenes |
Script
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| Mod + B / Mod + I | Bold / italic |
| Mod + F | Find in script |
| / | Beat menu on an empty line |
| Ctrl + Alt + L / S / V / W / C / I / K | Convert beat: Line, Stage, Set, Wait, Choice, Input, Check |
| Alt + Up / Down | Move beat |
| Mod + Shift + D | Duplicate beat |
| Mod + Shift + K | Co-write from the selection |
The beat-conversion chord uses literal Ctrl on every platform, not
Mod.
Flow
These apply when the flow pane has focus.
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys | Select a neighboring scene |
| Enter | Open the selected scene |
| F2 | Rename |
| Mod + D | Duplicate scene |
| Mod + A | Select all scenes |
| Mod + 0 | Fit view |
| Mod + Plus / Minus | Zoom |
| Shift + 2 | Zoom to selection |
| Mod + F | Find |
| Esc | Clear selection |
Player
The same keys work in preview and on a share link.
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| Space or Enter | Advance |
| 1 to 9 | Take a choice |
| S | Skip |
| A | Auto-advance |
| Esc | Menu |
Player shortcuts stand down while the focused element owns the key. Typing in an input, a textarea, a select, or any editable field passes the key through untouched, and Space or Enter on a focused button does what the button does rather than firing Advance twice.
