Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts for the PixAI Studio canvas and sequence editor.
Shortcuts let you work on the canvas and in the sequence editor without the menus. To see the list in Studio, press Ctrl/Cmd + /, or click the keyboard button at the right end of the dock.
On a Mac, use Cmd where this page shows Ctrl/Cmd, and Option where it shows Alt.

Common questions
A shortcut does nothing. Why?
Most shortcuts don't work while you type in a text field, such as the prompt. Click an empty area of the canvas or the timeline, then try again.
Can I change the shortcuts?
You can't set your own keys. In the sequence editor, you can switch to the Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve preset.
