Keyboard shortcuts in the planner

Search, turn pages, zoom, undo, copy and more from the keyboard. On a Mac, use Cmd wherever this says Ctrl.

These work while a planner is open on a computer. On a Mac, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.

Anywhere in the planner

  • Ctrl + F: open Search Planner.
  • ← and →: turn to the previous or next page.
  • Ctrl + = (the plus key) and Ctrl + -: zoom in and out. Ctrl + 0: back to 100%.
  • Ctrl + Z: undo. Ctrl + Shift + Z or Ctrl + Y: redo.

In edit mode

  • Esc: stop typing, or unselect what is selected.
  • Tab and Shift + Tab with something selected: select the next or the previous item in Layers.
  • Delete or Backspace: remove what you selected.
  • Ctrl + A: select everything on the page.
  • Ctrl + C, Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V: copy, cut and paste what you selected.
  • Ctrl + B, Ctrl + I and Ctrl + U: bold, italic and underline in a text box.

Good to know

While you are typing in a box, the arrow, zoom, select-all and delete keys work on your text instead, so nothing jumps away mid-sentence. Undo and redo still work.
