# Keyboard shortcuts

> Every keyboard shortcut of Pyzed Design, the Python GUI designer: global commands, the canvas, dialogs and the built-in code editor.

Source: https://albakore.github.io/pyzed/editor/keyboard-shortcuts/

Press <kbd>F1</kbd> in the editor for a searchable version of this list. On macOS, <kbd>Cmd</kbd> works wherever a
global shortcut says <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>.

:::tip
These are the default keys. Change any of them in the [keymap editor](https://albakore.github.io/pyzed/editor/keymap/)
(<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd> <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd>); <kbd>F1</kbd> always shows the keys in force.

These work anywhere, even while you type in the code editor.

| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd> | [Reference](https://albakore.github.io/pyzed/editor/reference/) of the selected control or of the name under the cursor |

While a dialog is open, only the palette, Settings, Keyboard shortcuts and Keymap editor keys act; the others wait until it is
closed.

## Canvas

These act when the canvas has the keyboard: after you click the form, a control, a toolbox row or an outline row.
Moving the pointer into a dock gives the keyboard to that panel (so typing in a field never moves a control), and
the code editor keeps it while you type; click the canvas again to get the canvas shortcuts back.
