Keyboard shortcuts

In the tables, Ctrl applies to Windows and Linux; on a Mac, use Cmd instead, except where the table says otherwise. Alt is Option on a Mac.

Editor

Suggestions

The editor suggests options automatically as you type, depending on where the cursor is:

Where you type	What shows up
/ at the start of a line	Slash commands: ready-made slide and block templates.
:::	Container blocks and the document’s components, with a template to fill in.
::	Single-line blocks (icon, spacer, divider) and components.
:: icon	Icon names.
@ at the start of a line	Definitions: @title, @theme, @color and the others.
Inside {	Attribute names.
After . inside {	Styles and color tokens.
After key= inside {	Attribute values: colors, fonts, scales and options.

Action	Shortcut
Open suggestions manually	Ctrl+Space, on a Mac too (on a Mac, also Option+` and Option+I)
Move through the list	↑ / ↓, Page Up / Page Down
Accept the suggestion	Enter
Close the list	Esc

Template fields

Slash commands and block suggestions insert a template with fields to fill in, such as the title and the text.

Action	Shortcut
Go to the next field	Tab
Go back to the previous field	Shift+Tab
Leave the fields	Esc

Editing

Action	Shortcut
Undo	Ctrl+Z
Redo	Ctrl+Y (on Linux, also Ctrl+Shift+Z; on a Mac, Cmd+Shift+Z)
Increase or decrease indentation	Tab / Shift+Tab, or Ctrl+] / Ctrl+[
Move the line up or down	Alt+↑ / Alt+↓
Duplicate the line up or down	Shift+Alt+↑ / Shift+Alt+↓

Insert a blank line below	Ctrl+Enter
Select the line	Alt+L (on a Mac, Ctrl+L, with the Control key)
Add a cursor above or below	Ctrl+Alt+↑ / Ctrl+Alt+↓

When you type {, [, ( or ", the editor closes the pair automatically; Backspace right after deletes both. Pasting (Ctrl+V) or dragging an image into the editor uploads it to the project and inserts the asset: reference into the text.

In the preview, click any element to move the cursor to the matching line in the editor.

Slash commands

Type / at the start of a line and pick a template. Command names follow the interface language.

Command	Inserts
/slide	New slide, with a --- separator and a heading.
/text-and-image	Two columns: text and image.
/cards	Three cards in a grid.
/quote	Quote with author.
/code	Code block.
/table	Table.
/image	Image with attributes.
/component	Definition of a reusable component.

Presentation mode

Presentation mode opens in full screen. Reveal steps count as steps: moving forward shows the next step and, when there are no more steps, the next slide.

Action	Keys
Forward	→, ↓, Space, Page Down or Enter
Back	←, ↑, Page Up or Backspace
Go to the first slide	Home
Go to the last slide	End
Show or hide the notes	N
Exit	Esc

You can also navigate with the mouse: a click on the left third of the screen goes back, and anywhere else goes forward.

Presenter view

Presenter view shows the current slide, the next one, the notes and the timer. The keys control the presentation and the audience screen at the same time.

Action	Keys
Forward	→, ↓, Space, Page Down or Enter
Back	←, ↑, Page Up or Backspace
Go to the first slide	Home
Go to the last slide	End
Exit presenter view	Esc

The timer is paused, resumed and reset with the buttons at the top of the screen, and clicking a thumbnail in the bottom strip jumps straight to that slide. See Presenting.

Audience screen

The audience screen is the window opened from presenter view, to show on the projector or another monitor.

Action	Keys
Forward	→, ↓, Space, Page Down or Enter
Back	←, ↑, Page Up or Backspace
Leave full screen	Esc
Enter full screen	Double-click

Navigation keys on the audience screen are sent to the presenter, so both windows stay on the same slide.
