Keyboard Shortcuts
The Controller view supports keyboard shortcuts for fast, hands-free operation during live events. Learn the key bindings below to speed up your workflow.
Available shortcuts and mouse modifiers
All shortcuts and modifier-clicks are available in the Controller view only. Shortcuts are ignored while you type in a text field or choose from a dropdown, and while a dialog such as Edit Timer is open. Holding a key down triggers its action only once. B, M and N work only without Ctrl, Alt or Cmd. In the app, the room menu (your avatar) → Shortcuts shows the same list.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Space | Play / Pause (starts first timer if none is active) |
| Escape | Close the open editor or menu, leave selection mode, or clear the timer selection (does not stop the timer — use the Stop button) |
| Ctrl + → | Advance to next timer (Ctrl on Mac too; macOS may use Ctrl + → to switch desktops) |
| N | Add new timer (at your plan's timer limit, a notice shows the limit instead) |
| Delete | Delete selected timers — press twice within 3 seconds; the first press shows a hint such as “Press Delete again to confirm” (on Mac: Fn + Delete; the delete key alone does not delete timers) |
| Ctrl + A | Select all timers (Cmd + A on Mac) |
| B | Toggle blackout |
| M | Mute or unmute audio cues on this device (other screens keep playing their sounds) |
| Ctrl + Click on timer | Toggle timer selection |
| Shift + Click on timer | Click a timer, then Shift-click another to select every timer in between, in and outside select mode |
| ? | Show keyboard shortcuts |
Tip: Space bar is your most-used shortcut — it starts the first timer if none is active, or toggles play/pause on the current timer. After you click a transport or signal button such as Play, Next, Stop or Blackout with the mouse, Space plays or pauses the show; it does not press that button again, also after a dialog was open in between. If you moved to a button with Tab, Space presses that button.
