Keyboard Shortcuts and Navigation
Every keyboard shortcut in the Labeliy canvas editor — editing, zooming, panning, and working in tables. Use Ctrl instead of ⌘ on Windows and Linux.
On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever you see ⌘. You can also open this list in the editor from Shortcuts at the bottom right.
Editing#

|---|---|
| ⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z | Undo / redo |
| ⌘C / ⌘V | Copy / paste (works on several elements at once) |
| ⌘D | Duplicate |
| ⌘A | Select all |
| ⌘G / ⌘⇧G | Group / ungroup |
| Delete | Delete the selection |
| Arrow keys | Nudge 1 px (hold Shift for 10 px) |
| ⌘S | Save |
Zooming and Moving Around#
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘+ / ⌘− | Zoom in / out |
| ⌘0 | Back to 100% |
| Shift + 1 | Fit the whole label on screen |
| ⌘ + scroll wheel | Zoom toward the cursor (a trackpad pinch works too) |
| Scroll | Move around |
| Space + drag | Pan (the middle mouse button works too) |
| Alt + click | Select one element inside a group |
The grid button next to the zoom controls turns on snap-to-grid.
On a touch screen, pinch with two fingers to zoom, and press and hold an element (or an empty spot) for the right-click menu.
