General Assumptions

The meta key.

The meta key was introduced to make the shortcuts consistent across platforms. It is defined as command on macOS, and as ctrl on Windows and Linux.

Keyboard-only Workflow

The GUI and all shortcuts were designed in a way to allow both efficient mouse-only as well as keyboard-only workflows. In most cases, there is a relation between mouse and keyboard shortcuts, namely, the left-mouse-button corresponds to enter. For example, stepping into a node is done by either double clicking the node, or just pressing the enter key.

Missing / not working shortcuts

Some of the shortcuts presented below are marked with the ⚠️ icon, which means, that they are planned, but not yet implemented. Feel free to contribute and help us implement them!
