Keyboard shortcuts for the Asset Annotation Editor

Info

Shortcuts are inactive while the cursor is in a text input, dropdown, or textarea, for example while editing a callout label or typing inside a text frame. This prevents shortcut keys from interfering with typed content.

Note

Esc always switches to the Select tool. It never closes the editor or any open dialog. To close the editor, use the close button in the dialog title bar.

Note

Ctrl + D / ⌘ + D duplicates the selected annotations without writing to your system clipboard. Use this when you want to duplicate quickly without overwriting content you have already copied from elsewhere.

Info

The editor keeps up to 60 undo steps. Performing any new action after undoing clears the redo stack. Steps that were undone cannot be redone once a new annotation is placed or modified.

Note

The zoom range is 25% to 400%. To reset zoom at any time, click the zoom percentage label in the properties panel bottom bar.

Warning

Ctrl + + and Ctrl + − may also trigger your browser's built-in zoom on some configurations. If the page zooms instead of the canvas, click inside the canvas area first to return focus to the editor, then try the shortcut again.

Tip

Pan is most useful when the canvas is zoomed in beyond the workspace boundary. Hold Space to switch the cursor to a grab hand, drag to reposition the canvas view, then release Space to return to your previous tool.
