Keyboard Shortcuts

The keys actually bound for global navigation, the command palette, the editor and the canvas — worth learning, the speed-up is real.

This page lists only the keys the platform actually binds: global navigation, the command palette, and undo and delete on the editor's visual tab. Keys inside the YAML tab come from the Monaco editor itself and are listed in their own section.

Shortcut Key Notation Conventions

Cmd Is ⌘ on Mac; corresponding on Windows / Linux Ctrl.
Alt On Mac it's ⌥; on Windows/Linux it's Alt.
All Cmd below can also be replaced by Ctrl.

⭐ Must Remember

Cmd + K

Open command palette

Searches workflows, pages and common actions. When focus is not in an input, pressing / opens it too; press again to close.

Cmd + Z

Undo (up to 50 steps back)

Applies on the editor's visual tab: canvas drags, property-panel edits and each step the AI assistant builds all share one undo stack. The YAML tab uses Monaco's own undo stack.

Cmd + Shift + Z

Redo

Cmd + Y works as well.

Delete / Backspace

Delete the step selected on the canvas

No confirmation dialog — one Cmd + Z brings it back if you delete the wrong one.

The editor has no save shortcut: it autosaves about 1.2 seconds after you stop editing, and the toolbar's Save now button writes immediately. Version snapshots must be saved explicitly in the versions dialog — an ordinary save does not create one.

Alt + H

Return To Homepage

Alt + W

Workflow List

Alt + T

Templates

Alt + E

Run History

Alt + N

Create A New Workflow

Alt + G

Open/close site-level AI assistant drawer

Alt + B

Collapse/Expand Sidebar

Alt + D

Switch Dark/Light Mode

YAML tab (built into the Monaco editor)

This group comes from the Monaco editor itself and only works on the YAML tab with the cursor inside the code. Platform actions such as validate, run and save have no shortcuts — use the toolbar buttons.

Cmd + F

Search inside the current YAML

Cmd + H replaces, with regular-expression support, and only touches the workflow you have open.

Cmd + Shift + [

Collapse Current Code Block

Cmd + Shift + ]

Expand Current Code Block

Alt + ↑ / ↓

Move current row up or down (standard with Monaco)

Cmd + D

Select Next Match (Multi-Cursor)

Ctrl + Space

Force autocomplete to be invoked

Canvas interactions

The canvas is mouse-first; only panning has an optional key.

Drag empty space

Pan The Canvas

Hold Space while dragging to pan starting from a node without moving the node itself.

Roller

Zoom

The control bar at the bottom left has zoom in, zoom out and fit-to-canvas buttons; the minimap sits at the bottom right.

Delete / Backspace

Delete the currently selected step

Debugging and the AI assistant

Neither has keyboard shortcuts today; everything is done through the interface:

Breakpoint debugging — pause, continue, step and the breakpoint toggles all live in the debug panel on the execution detail page; see Breakpoint Debugging.
AI assistant — Alt + G opens and closes the drawer; a leading "/" in the input brings up slash commands (/execute, /validate, /export, /undo, /new, /help), and the stop button in the panel interrupts a reply while it is being generated.

Dialog Boxes and Small Windows

Esc

Close Current Dialog Box

Enter

Submit dialog (in a form)

Look them up inside the product

The keyboard icon in the console's top bar opens a condensed cheat sheet, and the command palette has an entry for keyboard shortcuts too.
