PixelMaker keyboard shortcuts

They work in the PixelMaker editor on a computer. On a Mac, use ⌘ instead of Ctrl and Option instead of Alt.

Basics

Ctrl + K: Opens search so you can find and add anything without going through the panels.
Ctrl + Z: Undoes your last change.
Ctrl + Shift + Z or Ctrl + Y: Redoes what you just undid.
Double-click or Enter: Edits the selected element’s text right on the canvas. If the element has no text, Enter selects its first child, so you can step into a container without hunting for it.
Esc: Selects the element’s container to go up one level, or exits what you are doing. While editing text, it finishes and keeps what you typed.
?: Shows the list of shortcuts inside the editor, in case this page is not at hand.

Shift or Ctrl + click: Selects several elements at once so you can duplicate, delete or group them together.
Drag on a section’s background: Draws a box and selects everything inside it, without clicking each element.
Ctrl + A: Selects every element at the same level as the selected one, for example all the cards in the same container.

Alt + ↑ / ↓: Moves the element up or down one place inside its container, without dragging it.
Ctrl + G / Ctrl + Shift + G: Groups the selected elements into a new container, or ungroups them and leaves the elements loose.
Drag from “Add”: Takes a new element from the “Add” panel and drops it exactly where you want it on the canvas.
Delete or Backspace: Deletes the selected element, or all selected ones. If you make a mistake, Ctrl + Z brings it back.

Ctrl + C / X / V: Copies or cuts the selected element and pastes it somewhere else.
Ctrl + D: Duplicates the selected element, or all selected ones, in one step.
Ctrl + Alt + C / V: Copies one element’s style and pastes it onto another so they look the same, without changing its content.

Alt + 1 / 2 / 3: Switches the view to desktop, tablet or mobile so you can check how your site looks on each screen.
Ctrl + Shift + P: Opens the preview to see the page the way your visitors will.

↑ / ↓ in a size field: In a size field, adds or subtracts 1. With Shift it jumps to the next multiple of 8; with Alt it changes by 0.1.
Drag a padding handle: Changes the element’s inner spacing right on the canvas. With Shift it moves in steps of 8; with Alt it changes both sides at once.
Alt (hold): Shows the distance between the selected element and the one under the pointer, so you can align precisely.
Grid diamonds and dividers: Drag them to change the space between columns or rows and to share out the width of the columns.

Ctrl + S: Saves right away. You do not have to: the editor saves on its own while you work.
Ctrl + Alt + S: Saves a restore point in the History panel, so you can go back to that version if you later change your mind.
