Keyboard Shortcuts
#
These work on Mac and on iPad with an external keyboard.
Key symbols
#
- ⌘ Command · ⇧ Shift · ⌫ Delete · ⏎ Return · ⎋ Escape
Tools use single letters, no modifier — press the letter, then tap the board.
Pressing the armed tool’s letter again (or V) returns to Select. Letter
shortcuts pause while a part is selected, so typing in the editor never
switches tools.
