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.

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 firstDrag

Move every wire leaving an output to another output — drag from the output, then drop on a different output; one Ctrl+Z undoes itCtrl/Cmd-drag
