Keyboard shortcuts

This page follows the Shortcuts picker in the sidebar. Switch it and the whole page changes, including which shortcuts exist at all — the two apps don't have identical sets.

Anything listed in Settings → Shortcuts can be rebound. Menu commands and editor shortcuts are fixed.

  • Align and distribute — eight actions for lining up a multi-element selection.
