Keyboard shortcuts

Every editor shortcut in one place. On Mac, Ctrl combos also work as ⌘. Letter shortcuts are ignored while you're typing in a text field, and tool shortcuts are disabled in view-only sessions.

Navigation#

• V — Select
• H — Hand (pan)
• Z — Zoom (drag a region to zoom to it; click to zoom in a level, Ctrl+click to zoom out)
• X — Screenshot (drag a region, copied as an image)
• Shift+X — Copy content (drag a region to capture the sheet's own content as a markup)
• Ctrl+F — Search the document
