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.
