The desktop app includes a dedicated keyboard shortcuts modal that groups editor shortcuts by category.

Where To Find Them

The current product exposes the shortcuts modal from desktop navigation and editor-side help entry points.

Inside that modal, Wayaframe groups shortcuts into these categories:

  • Global
  • Timeline
  • Canvas
  • Text Editing
  • Playback

The modal also includes search, so you can filter shortcuts by action name.

Global Shortcuts

  • Play or pause
  • Show or hide timeline
  • Import
  • Export

The same list also shows the current recording start or stop and pause or resume hotkeys.

These only apply when text editing is active.

Platform Note
