Keyboard shortcuts
Move around the board without breaking flow.
FenSight shortcuts are split between keyboard commands, pointer gestures, and board gestures. The active key handlers in the app are the source of truth; open Help -> Keyboard Shortcuts for the in-app reference.
How shortcuts are organized
Navigation shortcuts keep the canvas moving without changing tools. Selection and editing shortcuts affect the current board selection. Tool shortcuts toggle temporary board modes such as text entry, magnification, fullscreen, and the performance HUD.
- Pointer gestures work directly on the canvas and do not require a toolbar mode.
- Selection shortcuts are additive, so Shift and Ctrl let you build or refine a set quickly.
- Board shortcuts such as save, open, and import mirror common Windows application conventions.
When a shortcut does not fire
If focus is inside a text field, filename editor, settings field, or other form control, FenSight lets that control receive normal typing first. Click the canvas before using board-level shortcuts.
