Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that perform certain tasks when pressed simultaneously. Usually, these tasks require the use of a mouse, such as right-clicking to copy a widget. Learning to use the editor's built in keyboard shortcuts can save you time, and make the process of editing your site much quicker.

When using a Mac, substitute Ctrl with the Command button. For example, to access Preview on a PC, type Ctrl+Alt+P. On Mac, type Command+Alt+P.
