Shortcuts and Gestures

The app uses standard browser gestures and quick actions on objects. The list of shortcuts may grow over time.

What it is

Core gestures

  • Pan the canvas: drag an empty area of the workspace.
  • Zoom: mouse wheel or pinch on trackpad and touch screens.
  • Move objects: drag a card or a note.

Quick card actions

  • Double click: flip a card.
  • Right click or long press: open the card context menu.
  • Card buttons: quick flip and fullscreen view.

Editor shortcuts

  • Backtick (`): toggle the grid overlay in the Room Editor.

How to use

Key steps

  1. Use the mouse wheel or pinch gesture to zoom.
  2. Drag the canvas or objects to navigate.
  3. Use double click and the context menu for fast actions.

Scenarios

  • Faster workflow: flip cards with a double click.
  • Precise view: zoom in for details.
  • Context actions: return a card to the deck from the menu.

Tips and errors

  • Gestures may vary by device, so rely on standard system actions.
  • If a shortcut does not work, check whether the browser or an extension is using it.
  • On mobile devices, gestures are usually more reliable than a keyboard.
