Keyboard Shortcuts
Every shortcut below appears in the app itself: click Shortcuts in the toolbar (next to Credentials and Settings), or press ? anywhere on the canvas, to open the same list. Two rows are exceptions to that. One notes a second working key combo the in-app list leaves out — Backspace for Delete, already documented in Getting Started. The other, Ctrl+Shift+C for Chat, is missing from the in-app list altogether, not just a second combo for an action already there — confirmed directly against toolbar.ts. Everything else here matches the in-app list exactly.
Canvas
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Search / command palette | Space or Ctrl+K |
| Pan canvas | Middle-drag |
| Zoom | Scroll |
| Fit to screen | Ctrl+Shift+F |
| Focus mode — hides the sidebar for a distraction-free canvas | F (not while editing a field) |
| Close panel, from an empty area of the canvas | Double-click |
Selection & Editing
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Box select | Shift-drag |
| Select all | Ctrl+A |
| Duplicate | Ctrl+D |
| Delete | Del or Backspace |
| Undo — the toolbar's Undo button does the same, and its tooltip names the step. Covers adding, deleting, moving, and wiring nodes, plus renaming, disabling, choosing a saved credential, and changing a node's settings. History is per open workflow and is cleared when you switch to another | Ctrl+Z |
| Redo — also a toolbar button | Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z |
| Cut connector | Alt-drag across it |
Move where a wire ends — drag from the wired input, or click the wire and drag the ring on its input end; dropping anywhere else cancels, and Esc cancels mid-drag. On an input that takes many wires, such as Merge's, click the wire first | Drag |
| Wire backwards — drag from an empty input to an output, or release over empty canvas to pick a node to connect into it | Drag |
Move every wire leaving an output to another output — drag from the output, then drop on a different output; one Ctrl+Z undoes it | Ctrl/Cmd-drag |
Disconnect a wire — hover it and click ×, click it and press Del, or right-click it | Del |
Workflow
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Save | Ctrl+S |
| New workflow | Ctrl+N |
| Run workflow | Ctrl+Enter |
| Open Chat — needs a Webhook and an Output node | Ctrl+Shift+C |
| Show this shortcut list | ? |
| Navigate the workflow list | ↑ ↓ |
| Open the selected item in the list | Enter |
| Rename an item in the list | Double-click |
| Open a workflow row's menu | Right-click |
Node Config
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open a node's config panel | Double-click the node |
| Close the config panel | Esc |
| Insert node data into any field | {{ |
On macOS, Ctrl in the table above is Cmd; both work everywhere Aerini checks for one.
