Common keyboard shortcuts
Use the shared shortcuts for selecting, editing and navigating your drawing.
Here Ctrl means Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows or Linux. A shortcut applies only where the current editor supports its action. A text input, dialog or active editing gesture can handle a key before the canvas does.
