Tips

• The element shortcuts (⌘1–8) are the most important to learn. They let you change element types without leaving the keyboard.
• ⌘Z (Undo) is your safety net — use it freely.
• ⌘F (Find) is useful not just for searching, but for navigating — type a character name to jump to their scenes.
• You can also access keyboard shortcuts from Help > Keyboard Shortcuts inside the app.
