Shortcuts
The complete list. A short version lives in the application, under Settings → Shortcuts.
Document
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl + S | Save. Asks for a name the first time |
Ctrl + Z | Undo |
Ctrl + W | Undo — the AZERTY-friendly alternative |
Ctrl + Y | Redo |
Undo is a single history covering map edits and hierarchy edits alike. It reverses the last thing you did, whichever panel you did it in.
Ctrl+Z in a territory-name field is the reflex for "undo my typo". It must not throw away sculpting work instead.
The map
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Scroll | Zoom, centred on the pointer. Range 10 % – 5000 % |
| Middle-drag | Pan |
| Left-click / drag | Paint, or select — depends on the active tool |
| Right-click | Pick, or stop painting |
The brush
These work anywhere, without moving the pointer off the canvas:
| Shortcut | Adjusts | Range |
|---|---|---|
Ctrl + scroll | Brush size | Radius 1.5 – 500 |
Alt + scroll | Falloff — scroll up for a softer edge | 0 – 10 |
Ctrl + Alt + scroll | Rotation, 5° per step | 0 – 360° |
Holding Ctrl or Alt suppresses zoom, so a brush adjustment never moves the camera.
Views
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Click a view button | Switches the map to that view |
Ctrl + click a view button | Pins that view as a translucent layer |
Ctrl + click the pinned view | Removes the layer |
Keyboard navigation
The application is fully operable without a mouse.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Tab | Next control |
Shift + Tab | Previous control |
Space or Enter | Activate the control — button, switch, open or close a group |
← → | Move the selection within a segmented picker |
Escape | Close a sheet, or release focus |
Focus follows the order controls are drawn in, which is the order they appear on screen. The focused control is drawn with a ring around it.
Escape never quits the application.
Inside a text field
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl + A | Select all |
Ctrl + C / X / V | Copy / cut / paste |
Shift + arrows | Extend the selection |
Home / End | Start / end of the field |
Enter | Commit and release focus |
Escape | Release focus |
| Double-click | Select a word |
| Triple-click | Select the line |
A field owns the keyboard while it is being edited: typing an s into a name does not trigger Save.
Interface size
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl + + | Increase by 25 % |
Ctrl + - | Decrease by 25 % |
Ctrl + 0 | Match the display's own scaling |
They clamp at 75 % and 300 %. The numpad keys work too.
