Keyboard shortcuts

The same list lives in the app: press Ctrl K and open Keyboard shortcuts under Help, where every shortcut is a row with its keys. That copy is the one kept in step with the code. This page is here so you can read it without opening Plnty.

Single letters work whenever you are not typing. Nothing here fires while your cursor is in a prompt box, a text card or a comment.

Tools

Holding Space and dragging pans, which is the one most people reach for without being told because it matches Figma.

Edit

Action	Keys
Undo	Ctrl Z
Redo	Ctrl Shift Z
Select all	Ctrl A
Duplicate	Ctrl D
Group	Ctrl G
Ungroup	Ctrl Shift G
Toggle layout grids	Shift G
Delete selection	Del
Opacity 10% to 90%	1 to 9
Opacity 100%	0
Exact opacity, two digits quickly	2 5

Holding Alt while dragging duplicates in place, which is faster than Ctrl D when you want the copy somewhere specific.

Opacity works the way it does in Figma, on the pictures and clips you have selected and on the ones inside a selected frame. 5 sets 50%, 0 brings it back to 100%, and two digits typed quickly set the exact value (2 then 5 is 25%). It dims a version you set aside without taking it off the board, for everyone on it. The file itself is never changed: a download, or a tool you run on it, uses the full picture. Right-click a picture for the same choices under Opacity.

App

Action	Keys
Search	Ctrl K
Settings	Ctrl ,
Toggle tools sidebar	Ctrl </kbd>
Clear selection, exit tool	Esc
Report a bug	Ctrl Shift B

The two worth learning first

Ctrl K and Shift 1. Searching by name beats hunting the sidebar once you know what you are after, and the same search finds boards, commands and settings as well as tools. Framing all content is how you find your way back after zooming into a corner of a board that has grown.
