Keyboard shortcuts

Every Planaira keyboard shortcut, by context: general, 2D plan, 3D view and walkthrough.

Open the list in the app

Open More in the top bar, then Keyboard shortcuts — or press the `?` key — to open the same list inside the editor, always in step with the version you are using. It also links a one-page printable sheet, already laid out in your language: open it, then print it.

How to read the keys

Keys joined by + are pressed together. Keys separated by · do the same thing: take whichever suits you. ⌘/Ctrl means Command on a Mac and Ctrl everywhere else. Shortcuts stay out of the way while you are typing in a field.

General

These work everywhere in the editor, in 2D as in 3D.

  • ⌘/Ctrl + Z — Undo
  • ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + Z · ⌘/Ctrl + Y — Redo
  • ⌘/Ctrl + P — Open the print sheet
  • ? — Show this list
  • Esc — Close the open panel, otherwise clear the selection
  • Del — Delete the selection
  • Q — Turn the selection (rooms 90°, objects 45°); with nothing selected, quarter-turn the plan and the 3D view together
  • ⌘/Ctrl + C — Copy the selection (room, furniture, column or outdoor)
  • ⌘/Ctrl + V — Paste the copy, offset on the current level — a room comes back with its doors and windows
  • ⌘/Ctrl + K · / — Search the catalogue
