Keyboard Shortcuts and Accessibility

Polypad supports many different keyboard shortcuts for ease of use:

• Hold the shift key and tap multiple tiles, to select multiple tiles at once.
• Press the backspace key to delete your current selection, and the C key to duplicate your current selection.
• Press CTRL + X/Y to undo or redo your last change.

Polypad is fully keyboard accessible. In addition to standard tab events to cycle through buttons and tiles, we support these additional shortcuts:

• The ARROW keys move the currently selected tile up, down, left or right.
• The R key rotate the currently selected tile by 15°. Also press shift to rotate by –15°.
• The S key moves the focus to the beginning of the sidebar.
• The T key moves the focus to the beginning of the toolbar.
• The U key moves the focus to the canvas area.
• The ESC key clears the current selection, and close any open popups and modals.
