Keyboard Shortcuts and Accessibility

These are the keyboard shortcuts supported by Polypad for accessibility:

• SHIFT: hold while you click on multiple tiles to select all of them at once
• ALT: hold before clicking and dragging on a tile to move a copy
• BACKSPACE: delete your current selection
• C: duplicate your current selection
• CTRL/CMD + X/Y: undo or redo your last change
• ARROWS: move the currently selected tiles up, down, left or right (hold SHIFT to reduce the shift size, for more precise moving)
• R: rotate the currently selected tile by 15° (hold SHIFT to rotate by –15°)
• S: move the focus to the sidebar on the left
• T: move the focus to the toolbar at the bottom
• U: move the focus to the canvas area
• ESC: clear the current selection and close any open popups and modals
• TAB: cycle through all buttons on the page and tiles on the canvas (hold SHIFT to reverse direction)

Use CTRL/CMD + X/C/V to cut, copy or paste tiles. You can even copy and paste tiles from one canvas onto another!

Points and tiles will automatically snap to nearby shapes or gridlines as you move them. You can disable this behaviour by pressing the SHIFT key while moving an item with your mouse or trackpad.
