Keyboard Shortcuts

If you have a keyboard attached to your iPad, you can use a variety of keyboard shortcuts to efficiently navigate the editor. You can find the list of all default shortcuts below and in the settings.

Custom Shortcuts#

All of these keyboard shortcuts can be customized to fit your personal preferences.

In order to use a custom shortcut:

1. Tap the shortcut that you want to change. It should now read Press Shortcut Keys….
2. Press the key combination on your keyboard that you would like to use as the new shortcut.

You will be notified if the same shortcut is already used for a different action. In this case, either choose a different shortcut or change or remove the existing use of it. Each shortcut can only be used for a single action at a time.

Custom shortcuts are highlighted in a different color than default shortcuts.

Removing Shortcuts#

In order to remove a shortcut, tap the small x next to the shortcut.

• Tap the x to replace a custom shortcut with the default shortcut for the same action.
• Tap the x to remove a default shortcut and leave the action without a shortcut.
• Tap the x to restore the default shortcut if the action has no shortcut.

If you try to restore the default shortcut, but the same default is already used as a custom shortcut for another action, you will be notified and the selected action is left without any shortcut.
