The canvas

Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut on the canvas, grouped the way the in-app cheat sheet groups them.

The same list lives in the app, under Shortcuts in your settings, and 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.
