Keyboard shortcuts

All the keys and combinations of the program, by page. The keys you assign yourself in Mappings and the keys of the SHOW buttons are added to these. A key assigned in Mappings takes priority over the program shortcut that uses the same key.

Key What it does
F1 Live
F2 Show
F3 Program
F4 Scenes
F5 Patch
F6 Fixtures
F7 Outputs
F8 Mappings
F9 Options
F10 Playbacks
F11 Full screen (and back to the window)
F12 Opens this manual on the page you are on (also the “?” button in the top bar)
Ctrl+N New show
Ctrl+O Open a show
Ctrl+S Save the show (the first time, it asks for a name)
Ctrl+Shift+S Save the show with another name (“Save as…”)
Ctrl+B Blackout (on and off)
Esc Stop all. In Learn mode, cancels the pending control or leaves the mode; with “Record” armed in Playbacks, disarms it
Ctrl+→ Next scene in each playing group
Ctrl+← Previous scene in each playing group
G BeatGO (except on the Show page)

If a page is locked, its key asks for the password (if there is one) and unlocks it. With the SHOW locked (kiosk mode) the page keys do not work, and with Setup locked neither do Ctrl+N, Ctrl+O and Ctrl+Shift+S.

T, G and the keys you assign in Mappings do not act while you are typing in a text field, such as the command line of Program.

Key What it does
Space GO of the selected playback (one GO per press)
Shift+Space Back on the selected playback

PgDn Next playback page

They work on the Playbacks page as long as you are not typing in a text field.
