Gestures and shortcuts
Pan, zoom, rotate and undo with touch, and the keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac.
Space works with Apple Pencil, touch, a mouse, or a trackpad. One finger or the Pencil draws and moves things. Two fingers move the canvas.
Touch
| Gesture | What it does |
|---|---|
| Two-finger drag | Pan the canvas |
| Pinch | Zoom in and out |
| Two-finger twist | Rotate the canvas. It snaps back to straight within a few degrees. |
| Two-finger tap | Undo |
| Two-finger double tap | Reset the zoom |
Trackpad and mouse
On a Mac trackpad, two fingers pan, pinch zooms, and a two-finger twist rotates the canvas, just as on iPad. With a mouse, the scroll wheel pans.
Keyboard
These work on Mac and on iPad with a hardware keyboard.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| ⌘Z | Undo |
| ⇧⌘Z | Redo |
| ⌘X, ⌘C, ⌘V | Cut, copy and paste |
| ⌘D | Duplicate the selection |
| Delete | Delete the selection |
| Hold Space and drag | Pan the canvas (iPad) |
| Hold Shift | Constrain angles, keep proportions, or add to the selection |
When you're typing a dimension, Tab moves to the next field, Shift-Tab to the previous one, and Return applies it.
