Use Ctrl on Windows/Linux and Command on macOS. Global edit shortcuts do not intercept copy, paste, cut, delete, arrows, Escape, or Enter while an input, select, textarea, or content-editable field owns the keystroke.
Keys: Ctrl/Cmd+C · Current action: copy current file/editor selection
Keys: Ctrl/Cmd+X · Current action: cut current selection
Keys: Ctrl/Cmd+V · Current action: paste; a Component canvas can also accept a clipboard image
Keys: Ctrl/Cmd+Z · Current action: undo the selected file's next eligible step
Keys: Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z · Current action: redo
Keys: Delete or Backspace · Current action: delete current eligible selection
Keys: Esc · Current action: clear Component selection one step; first clears active snap targets
Keys: Ctrl/Cmd+R · Current action: reopen the most recently closed tab in the active Editor/Library view
Copy/paste can carry supported content across files. Undo/redo uses the same eligible design-file history as MCP changes.
With one ordinary styled element selected and not editing a Path/Mesh:
Key: ↑ · Current action: select the parent node
Key: ← · Current action: move one place earlier in a relative-positioned flex row
Key: → · Current action: move one place later in a relative-positioned flex row
Key: ↓ · Current action: move one place later in a relative-positioned flex column
The reorder keys require a relative-positioned node inside a flex parent whose axis matches the key. They do not nudge visual position. There is no matching “earlier in a column” shortcut; use the Element Explorer or drag workflow.
Keys: Enter · Current action: enter Path editing for one selected Path; press again to exit
Keys: Arrow keys · Current action: move selected Path anchors by 1 pixel
Keys: Shift + arrow · Current action: move selected Path anchors by 10 pixels
Keys: Shift + click anchor · Current action: toggle the anchor in the current point selection
Keys: Cmd + click anchor · Current action: toggle corner/smooth behavior
Keys: Option/Alt + drag handle · Current action: move one Bézier handle independently
While Path or Mesh editing owns an arrow key, normal hierarchy movement does not run.
Modifier: Shift · Gesture: click element/tree/breadcrumb · Current action: add to selection where that surface supports multi-select
Modifier: Shift · Gesture: element drag · Current action: suppress snapping
Modifier: Shift · Gesture: drag selection-box area · Current action: start marquee selection rather than moving the selection
Modifier: Shift · Gesture: click with Snap pointer · Current action: add/remove an explicit snap target
Modifier: Ctrl/Cmd · Gesture: scroll over timeline · Current action: zoom the selected timeline around the pointer
There is no global shortcut in the current keybinding registry for group/ungroup, align/distribute, bring-to-front/send-to-back, duplicate, timeline play/pause, timeline stepping, or adding a keyframe. Tree nesting/order and visible controls provide those available results.
