Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut below is bound in the shipped app. Help > Shortcut Table shows a similar list inside Mantis; where the two disagree, this page follows the code.

Two conventions apply everywhere:

• Ctrl is ⌘ on macOS andCtrl elsewhere. Where a binding checks Ctrl specificallyon every platform, the table says Ctrl.
• Single-letter shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a text field.

Menus

Menu shortcuts use Alt on Windows and Linux, Option on macOS, with no other modifier.

Action	Shortcut
File menu	Alt+F
Export menu	Alt+E
Plugins menu	Alt+P
View menu	Alt+V
Maps menu	Alt+M
Help menu	Alt+H
Verticals menu	Alt+Ctrl+V

While a menu is open, each item shows a letter badge. Press that letter to run the item without the mouse.

Menu	Letters
File	O Open New Space, I Info, V Visibility (owners only), S Set New Version, C Change Alias
Export	P download PDF, C export CSV
Help	D Documentation, S Shortcut Table, B Bug Report, O Overview
View	a section letter first, then the letter shown on the panel

The View menu assigns its panel letters automatically from panel names, so they shift as the panel list changes. Read the badge rather than memorizing it.

Undo and redo

Action	Shortcut
Undo	Ctrl+Z
Redo	Ctrl+⇧+Z or Ctrl+Y

These are deliberately not intercepted inside the Monaco editor or the terminal, so undo inside a code cell stays local to that editor.

Map tools

These pick the active tool for the focused map and work anywhere in the space.

Tool	Key
Select	I
Lasso	Q
Magic Lasso	M
Path	P
Landmark	N
Journey	J
Semantic Ruler	R
Heatmap	H
Waypoint (opens the save dialog)	W
Clear all selections	Ctrl+⌫
Delete all bags	Ctrl+⇧+⌫

There is no keyboard shortcut for the Reconstruct tool. Pick it from the tool island.

Selection modifiers

Held while you drag or click on the map.

Action	Modifier
Add the new points to the current selection	Ctrl + drag
Remove the new points from the current selection	⇧ + drag (Alt also works)
Append a cluster to the selection	⇧ + click a cluster

A lasso, path or magic-lasso commit is capped at 25,000 points. Past that the commit is truncated without a warning.

Working in a space

Action	Shortcut
Cycle through the selected points	⇥
Toggle focus mode	F
Toggle spider mode	S
Open the Settings panel	Ctrl+,
Export CSV (opens the export dialog)	Ctrl+S
Download PDF	Ctrl+P
Toggle hand-gesture mode	Ctrl+⇧+H
Leave the space and return home	Ctrl+Q
Reminder of where the shortcut table lives	?

? does not open the table itself. It shows a note telling you

to use Help > Shortcut Table.

Panels and layout

Panel navigation is modal: hold Ctrl to enter it, and it ends when you let go.

Action	Shortcut
Enter panel navigation mode	hold Ctrl
Step between tabsets, top to bottom then left to right	Ctrl+↑ / Ctrl+↓
Cycle tabs inside the focused tabset	Ctrl+← / Ctrl+→
Move the active tab to a neighboring tabset, or split to create one	Ctrl+⇧ + arrow
Close the focused tab	hold Ctrl, then Esc
Shrink or grow the tabset horizontally	hold Ctrl, then [ / ]
Shrink or grow the tabset vertically	hold Ctrl, then ⇧+[ / ⇧+]
Open the panel switcher and jump to any open tab	Ctrl+P

On macOS Ctrl+P downloads the PDF while

⌘+P opens the panel switcher, because the two bindings test

different modifiers.

Map (Legacy) only

The default map does not bind these. They work in Map (Legacy) and the Visual Brainstorming Map, which still carry the older on-map chrome.

Action	Shortcut
Focus the on-map search box	Ctrl+F
Show or hide the on-map tool widgets	Ctrl+M
Zoom in / out with the pointer over the map	the + and - keys
Tag the current selection with a hashtag	H with points selected
Grow the active bag to its parent cluster	⇧+↑
Step back through focused points	Esc
Focus the legacy chat input	Ctrl+O

H also switches to the Heatmap tool, so on the legacy map

with a selection it does both at once.

Home dashboard

Action	Shortcut
Create a new space	Ctrl+N
Open and focus the space search	Ctrl+F
