Keyboard shortcuts: edit faster with the keyboard

2026-10-25

Learn a few shortcuts and you'll edit twice as fast. On a Mac use ⌘ instead of Ctrl.

File

O: open an image
S: export
Ctrl + P: print

Edit

Ctrl + Z: undo
Ctrl + C: copy to clipboard
Ctrl + V: paste
Ctrl + A: select all
Del: delete selection

Image

R: resize
T: trim (remove empty borders)
L: rotate 90 degrees left
F: auto adjust colors
I: image information

Layer

N: new layer
D: duplicate the current layer

View and tools

Mouse wheel: zoom in / out
G: show / hide the grid
U: show / hide the ruler
H: shapes tool
F3: search (type a feature's name when you can't find its menu)

Shortcuts only work while the canvas has focus. If a key does nothing, click the canvas first.
