Canvas and PagesReview draft
On this page
Click the canvas and exit message inputs, text editors and dialogs first. Select all, copy and delete act on text while an input has focus.
Navigation and selection
| Action | Windows | Mac |
|---|---|---|
| Selection tool | V | V |
| Hand tool | H | H |
| Temporary pan | Space + left-drag | Space + left-drag |
| Pan without switching tools | Middle/right-drag | Middle/right-drag |
| Horizontal pan | Shift + wheel | Shift + wheel |
| Zoom around pointer | Ctrl + wheel | Command + wheel |
| Zoom in around viewport center | Ctrl + = or plus | Command + = or plus |
| Zoom out around viewport center | Ctrl + minus | Command + minus |
| Fit all | Shift + 1 | Shift + 1 |
| Focus selection | Shift + 2 | Shift + 2 |
| Add/remove selection | Shift + click | Shift + click |
| Select top-level content | Ctrl + A | Command + A |
| Exit editing, cancel action or deselect | Escape | Escape |
Shift + 2 fits all when nothing is selected. Select all treats frames as units. Shift-click toggles an item. Escape closes a context menu, exits creation/text editing first, otherwise deselects. In presentation mode, it exits presentation.
Editing and stacking

|---|---|---|
| Copy / cut / paste | Ctrl + C / X / V | Command + C / X / V |
| Undo | Ctrl + Z | Command + Z |
| Redo | Ctrl + Shift + Z or Ctrl + Y | Command + Shift + Z or Command + Y |
| Delete selection | Delete / Backspace | Delete / Backspace |

| Forward/back one layer | ] / [ | ] / [ |
| Bring to front / send to back | Ctrl + ] / [ | Command + ] / [ |
Movement uses canvas distances independent of zoom. Clipboard operations apply only to supported content.
Arrows inside auto layout
With one child selected, left/up selects the previous item and right/down selects the next in reading order, bringing it into view. Navigation stops at either end without wrapping. It does not move content, even with Shift. Drag to a new insertion position to reorder, or switch to free layout for manual placement.
If shortcuts do not respond
Check input focus, dialogs, editing state and project permissions. View-only users cannot edit; clipboard actions also depend on type and browser permissions. Canvas editing shortcuts are unavailable during presentation.
