Keyboard Shortcuts

Quick reference for all keyboard shortcuts available in the ARuVR editor. These shortcuts help you work faster by giving you instant access to common actions without reaching for menus or buttons.

Platform Note

On macOS, use Cmd in place of Ctrl. All shortcuts listed below show both variants where applicable.

General Editing

These shortcuts handle clipboard operations, undo/redo, and marker management. They work whenever the editor canvas is focused.

Shortcut Action
Ctrl + S / Cmd + S Save the current presentation
Ctrl + Z / Cmd + Z Undo the last action
Ctrl + Shift + Z / Cmd + Shift + Z Redo the last undone action
Ctrl + Y / Cmd + Y Redo (alternative)
Ctrl + C / Cmd + C Copy the selected marker
Ctrl + V / Cmd + V Paste a previously copied marker
Ctrl + D / Cmd + D Duplicate the selected marker
Delete / Backspace Delete the selected marker
Escape Deselect marker and close all open panels and modals

Tip

Ctrl + S works even when you are typing in a text input or textarea. All other editing shortcuts are disabled while you are typing so that you do not accidentally trigger them.

Panels & Windows

Toggle editor panels and modals on and off with a single key press. These shortcuts are only active when you are not typing in a text field.

Shortcut Action
L Toggle the Layers panel
P Toggle the Properties panel (requires a selected marker)
A Toggle the Asset Library
M Toggle the Markers Overview
B Toggle the Behavior Editor (requires a selected marker)
S Toggle the Slide Properties panel
H Toggle the HUD panel
T Toggle the Video Timeline (for 360-video slides)
C Toggle Collider visibility (for 3D slides)
Space Toggle the Quick Add modal for creating new markers

Tip

The P and B shortcuts only work when a marker is selected. If no marker is selected, pressing these keys has no effect.

Transform Mode (3D)

When working on 3D or AR slides, you can switch the transform gizmo mode using shortcuts inspired by Blender and Unity.

Shortcut Action
W Switch to Translate mode (move the selected marker)
E Switch to Rotate mode (rotate the selected marker)
R Switch to Scale mode (resize the selected marker)

These shortcuts are only active when you are not typing in a text field.

Marker Positioning (360 Canvas)

When you have a marker selected on a VR/360 slide, you can fine-tune its position and scale directly from the keyboard.

Shortcut Action
Arrow Up Nudge the marker up
Arrow Down Nudge the marker down
Arrow Left Nudge the marker left
Arrow Right Nudge the marker right
+ / = Increase marker scale
- / _ Decrease marker scale

Tip

Arrow key nudging and scale adjustments apply to the currently selected marker on the 360 panorama canvas. These are useful for precise placement when dragging with the mouse is too coarse.

Navigation

Shortcut Action
Cmd + K / Ctrl + K Open the global search dialog
Escape Close the global search dialog

The global search lets you quickly find and navigate to presentations, slides, and other items from anywhere in the application.

Mouse & Interaction

In addition to keyboard shortcuts, the following mouse interactions are available on the editor canvas.

Interaction Action

Drag a marker Move the marker to a new position
