# Keyboard shortcuts

> Use Studio shortcuts for playback, editing, navigation, and project actions.

Shortcuts depend on the active area. The table below covers the shortcuts
implemented by the current Studio player, canvas, and timeline.

| Command/Ctrl + Shift + Z | Redo                                                                         |

| Command/Ctrl + G         | Group selected elements                                                      |

The selected area decides what a shared shortcut does. For example, arrow keys nudge a selected canvas element; without a nudgeable selection they step through frames.

## Keyframes and recording

| Shortcut                   | Action                                                        |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| K                          | Add a keyframe when the current selection supports it         |
| H                          | Toggle hold or bezier for selected keyframes                  |
| U                          | Expand or collapse the selected element’s keyframe properties |
| Left / Right arrow         | Nudge selected keyframes by one frame                         |
| Shift + Left / Right arrow | Nudge selected keyframes by ten frames                        |
| R                          | Start or stop gesture recording                               |

During gesture recording, drag records position, scroll records depth,
Shift-drag records 3D rotation, Option/Alt-drag records rotation, and
Command/Ctrl-drag or scroll records opacity or scale.

## Canvas and panels

| Shortcut                     | Action                        |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| G                            | Toggle the canvas grid        |
| Command/Ctrl + 1             | Open Compositions             |
| Command/Ctrl + 2             | Open Assets                   |
| Option/Alt + drag            | Move an entire animation path |
| Shift + drag a resize handle | Resize uniformly              |

<Warning>
  A shortcut should not fire while you are typing into a text or source field. If the wrong area has focus, click the canvas or timeline before using an editing shortcut.
</Warning>

Use the **Shortcuts and tools** button beside the playback controls for the
built-in shortcut list, work-area controls, and jump-to-frame field.
