Keyboard shortcuts

CardBoard’s global shortcuts work anywhere on the canvas. On Mac, use ⌘; on Windows and Linux, use Ctrl — both are accepted everywhere a modifier is shown.

Global

Keys	Action	Notes
Ctrl/⌘ + F	Open search	Works even inside text inputs

Ctrl/⌘ + - or _	Zoom out
Ctrl/⌘ + scroll	Zoom with the mouse
Z	Toggle the top bar (fullscreen)	Disabled while editing text
Shift + ?	Open the keyboard shortcuts page	Disabled while editing text
Ctrl/⌘ + Z	Undo	Disabled in read-only
Ctrl/⌘ + Y	Redo	Disabled in read-only
Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + Z	Redo (alternative)	Disabled in read-only
Ctrl/⌘ + C	Copy the canvas selection	Disabled while editing text
Ctrl/⌘ + V	Paste	Disabled while editing text
Alt + S	Open the share modal
Spacebar (held)	Pan the canvas

Shortcuts marked “disabled while editing text” are suppressed inside card editors, text inputs, and stickers so typing isn’t hijacked.

Note

Most canvas actions are also discoverable from the right-click menu. Card, divider, sticker, outcome, and connection shortcuts are mode-specific and surface contextually as you work.
