Keyboard shortcuts

Every editor shortcut: tools, drawing, editing, navigation, and search.

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.

Tool shortcuts follow Bluebeam Revu's defaults, so if you already work in Revu your hands should carry over.

Shift+O — Lasso select
Shift+V — Hand (pan)
Z — Zoom (drag a region to zoom to it; click to zoom in a level, Ctrl+click to zoom out)
G — Screenshot (drag a region, copied as an image)
Shift+G — Copy content (drag a region to capture the sheet's own content as a markup)

While you're drawing a multi-point shape#

Line, polygon, cloud and the measurement tools collect points click by click.

Enter, right-click, or a click on the last vertex (the first, to close a polygon) — finish the shape
Esc, Backspace or Ctrl+Z — take back the last point you placed. Keep pressing Esc to walk back out of the shape a point at a time; once it's empty, Esc returns you to Select
