Keyboard shortcuts

LabeljoyNew version

Here are the keys that work in Labeljoy. Some work anywhere in the window. The ones that change the selection only work when the work area has the focus - so click the label first.

Documents
Ctrl+NA new document from your default template.
Ctrl+OOpen a document from your computer.
Ctrl+SSave the document on screen, when it has unsaved changes.
Ctrl+PPrint the document on screen straight away, with its current print settings.
Ctrl+EExport the document on screen straight away: Labeljoy asks where to save the file.
Ctrl+Shift+N, O, S, P, EOpen the New, Open, Save, Print or Export panel instead, just like the toolbar buttons.
Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+TabThe next or the previous open document.
Ctrl+F4Close the document on screen.
Editing
Ctrl+ZUndo.
Ctrl+Y, Ctrl+Shift+ZRedo.
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+InsertCopy the selection.
Ctrl+V, Shift+InsertPaste.
Ctrl+XCut the selection.
DeleteDelete the selection. Labeljoy asks first, until you tick Hide this message. With nothing selected in a document that has one label set, it's that label set that goes.
Tab, Shift+TabSelect the next or the previous thing on screen: each label set, its elements, then the page elements.
Ctrl+ASelect all: every element of the label set you're working on, or every page element if that's what's selected. With nothing selected, the elements of the only label set.
Shift+arrow keysMove the selection a little. The step gets finer as you zoom in. Locked elements stay where they are, and the keys don't snap to the grid.
Ctrl+arrow keysResize the selection: right and left make it wider and narrower, down and up taller and shorter. The top left corner stays where it is. With nothing selected, they scroll the work area instead.
EscCancel a drag in the work area.

Copy, paste, cut, delete and the arrow keys act on the work area only when it has the focus. While you're typing in the tools panel they work on the text, as usual - and so do undo and redo in the text editor.
