Keyboard shortcuts

The complete keyboard map. Press ? anywhere in the editor for the same list rendered live — the in-app modal is generated from the same source, so it can't drift from the code.

On Windows / Linux, Cmd means Ctrl.

Notes

• Shortcuts are suppressed while you're typing in an input field — Cmd+A inside a text field selects the field's text, not the canvas.
• The Satin tool intercepts a few keys mid-draw (Enter/Esc) so it can commit or cancel cleanly; other shortcuts are paused until you finish or cancel the satin.
• Holding Space for pan does not change the active tool — release Space and you're back to whatever tool you had.
