Keyboard shortcuts

Every key Fil answers to, grouped by where it works. Keys only act where they're listed: a letter that opens a view from the sidebar does something else on a canvas, and nothing while you're typing in a field. On a canvas, click Show properties at the top right with nothing selected: the panel's last section, Shortcuts, shows a keyboard with the keys in use. Click Show list for the list, and hover a row or a key to light it up.

#Shortcuts anywhere in the studio

In a document you're writing, ⌘K makes a link instead.

#Go to a place

These work outside a text field and outside a canvas, with no dialog open. They're the letters shown in the sidebar.

#The command menu

#Typing in prompts, chats and comments

⇧Enter adds a line wherever Enter sends or generates.

An annotation's note finishes with ⌘Enter or Esc. A view's prompt box is the one on Image, Video, 3D or Code; a name is a canvas's, a node's, a section's or a chat's.

In a node's prompt or direction box, type / at the start of a line (or after a space) for skills and templates, or @ for files on the canvas and in your library. In that menu, ↑ ↓ move, Enter or Tab picks, and Esc closes it.

#Canvas shortcuts

These work when you're not typing in a field, with no menu, dialog or popover open. The letters that open views elsewhere (H, I, V, C, T) do canvas things here. See Canvas basics.

#Tools and adding nodes

With one node selected, a node you add with 1 to 6 goes to its right, already wired to it, when it can take what that node makes.

#Selecting and editing

Enter on a selected Prompt node presses its button: Plan, on Auto. On a picked section it renames it; on a picked annotation it edits the note. ⌫ with a picture clicked inside a node of several deletes only that picture. There's no copy and paste of nodes: use ⌘D.

#The view

#Mouse and trackpad

#Full view and image editing shortcuts

Double-click a file, or press its View full size button.

#Image editing tools

In the full view's Edit tab. See Image editing.

Click the camera stage before using its arrow keys.

#Layers

In a picture's Layers editor, on a canvas.

Drag with ⌥ for a copy, with ⇧ to move in a straight line, and with ⌘ to turn snapping off.

#Document editor shortcuts

When you edit a Markdown or text document, on a canvas or full screen. See Prompts, documents and skills.

At the start of a line, type #, ## or ### and a space for headings, - and a space for a list, 1. and a space for a numbered list, > and a space for a quote, three backticks and a space for code, and --- for a divider. In the Ask Claude box, ⌘Enter adds to the document.

#Video editor shortcuts

The video editor lists its main keys at the end of its panel when nothing is selected. See The video editor.

Drag a clip with ⌥ for a copy, or with ⌘ to place it without snapping.

#Design tab shortcuts

See The Design tab.

#Tools and view

#Selecting

#Editing

While dragging, ⇧ keeps a layer on one line, keeps its shape as you resize, or turns in 15° steps; ⌘ turns snapping off. Typing into text, Esc or ⌘Enter finishes. In the agent's box, ⌘Enter sends. See Edit with the agent.

#Shortcuts elsewhere

• The sidebar and menus: every place and menu, and what's in ⌘K.
