Keyboard shortcuts

Press ? on any board for this list, searchable. It’s generated from the same list the board’s key handling uses, so it’s always the full set.

Shortcuts don’t fire while you’re typing in a sticky, a title or a field.

Navigate

Getting around the board from the keyboard. These work on the shape you’re on before you select it: a ring shows which. Once it’s selected, the arrow keys nudge it and Tab reaches its actions instead. See Accessibility.

Next or previous shape, in reading order	`Tab`or`⇧Tab`	`Tab`or`ShiftTab`

Arrange

Aligning needs two or more shapes selected, and distributing three or more. Fitting a section to its contents needs the section selected on its own; double-clicking one of its grips does the same. See Sections.
