# Creator Keyboard Shortcuts

# ⌨️ Creator Keyboard Shortcuts

The Creator is largely driven from the keyboard. In every table, **Cmd** stands for macOS and **Ctrl** for Windows and Linux: the interface adapts what it displays to your machine. 🚀

🔺 Shortcuts are deliberately disabled while you are typing in an input field. Click in the canvas first to re-enable them.

## ✂️ Editing in the graph

| Shortcut | Action |
| --- | --- |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + S` | Save graph in the cloud |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Z` | Undo the last action |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z` | Redo the last action |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + A` | Select all |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + C` | Copy selection |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + V` | Paste |
| `Delete` or `Backspace` | Remove selection |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + G` | Group selection |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + B` | Blackbox the selection |

Pasting drops the blocks **wherever your mouse is**: position the cursor first. 🎯

🔺 Removing also applies to the selected **connections** and **groups**, not just to blocks.

## 🧭 Moving around the canvas

| Shortcut | Action |
| --- | --- |
| `+` | Zoom in |
| `-` | Zoom out |
| `F` | Zoom to fit |
| `C` | Recenter |

`F` and `C` frame **the selection** if blocks are selected, and **the whole graph** otherwise. Hold the **Space** bar to pan with the mouse, and **Shift + drag** to draw a selection rectangle. 🤚

## 🪟 Opening the tool windows

| Shortcut | Window |
| --- | --- |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + ,` | Project |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + F` | Search blocks |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + H` | History |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + L` | Labels |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + E` | Files |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V` | Variables |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + U` | Menus |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + G` | Generate |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X` | Style |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A` | Analytics |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + K` | Translate |

You can then arrange your windows from the keyboard: **Esc** closes the active window, **Alt + ↑** maximizes it, **Alt + ↓** minimizes it, **Alt + ←** and **Alt + →** stack it left or right, **Shift + Tab** switches between windows. On Windows and Linux, replace Alt with Ctrl. 🗂️

These combinations are displayed in the menus. If they get in your way, uncheck **Show keyboard shortcuts on the menu** in your preferences. ⚙️

## ▶️ Testing and publishing

| Combination displayed | Command |
| --- | --- |
| `Shift + P` | Play from the module |
| `Shift + S` | Share |
| `Shift + B` | Publish |
| `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + I` | Integrations |

🔺 These four combinations are **announced by the tooltips and the menus, but they do not fire from the keyboard**. Use the toolbar buttons instead. 🙂

## 🔍 A curiosity: the `d` `b` `g` sequence

Type the letters **d**, **b**, **g** one after the other in the canvas: a development window opens. It lists the project's resources, offers to clean up the ones no longer in use, reports missing translations and displays build data.

🔺 This is **not** a scenario debugging tool: to follow how your story unfolds, use the player and its variables panel. This window stays in English. Cleaning up resources is a deletion: save first. 💾
