The keys the workbench binds, grouped by the part of the interface they act on. A shortcut acts on whatever has focus: keys typed into a text field go to the field. Where Ctrl is written, macOS accepts Cmd as well.
Undo and redo
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Z | Undo the last model change |
| Ctrl+Y, Ctrl+Shift+Z | Redo |
Undo covers model edits you made in this session, in any representation.
Model explorer
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+F | Open the filter bar |
| ↓, ↑ | Move to the next or previous visible row |
| → | Expand the row, or move to its first child when it is already expanded |
| ← | Collapse the row, or move to its parent when it is already collapsed |
| Any letter, digit or punctuation | Start renaming the selected row, using the character you typed as the first one |
| Enter | Commit the name |
| Escape | Cancel renaming and keep the old name |
| Ctrl+click | Add the row to the selection, or take it out again |
The arrow keys select the row you land on, so open diagrams and the details panel follow.
Diagram editor
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| F2 | Rename the selected node or edge |
| Any letter, digit or punctuation | Start renaming the selected node or edge, using the character you typed as the first one |
| Enter | Commit the name |
| Shift+Enter | Insert a line break inside the name |
| Escape | Cancel renaming, or close the palette |
| Delete | Delete the selected elements, after a confirmation |
| Ctrl+click | Add an element to the selection, or take it out again |
| Alt (held) | Keep nodes from being moved while you drag |
A notation can bind its own keys to a palette tool. While the diagram has focus, those keys run the tool at the mouse position.

| Ctrl+A | Select the whole document; inside a table, select every cell first and the whole document on a second press |
| Enter at the start of a block | Insert an empty paragraph above, leaving the block itself untouched |
