Every keyboard shortcut in the Archibara editor, from search and undo to placing objects and moving around the canvas.
On a Mac, use ⌘ wherever this page says Ctrl. Press Ctrl+/ in the editor to open Keyboard shortcuts, a searchable list of the most important ones.
Shortcuts act on the canvas. While you type in a text field, only Ctrl+K and Ctrl+/ still work, and keys pressed in an open dialog or menu stay there. Shortcuts that change the model are available only if you can edit the workspace.

The number and Shift keys only offer the types the current view accepts, for example no apps on a landscape view. They follow the physical key, so they work with any keyboard layout.
