Keyboard shortcuts and remapping keys

Space starts and stops, the up and down arrows change the speed, the left and right arrows and the page keys jump cues, and E edits the script. Every one can be changed on the Keys page; Esc always leaves the prompter.

Change a key

In Settings, Controls, open Keys and pedals. Tap Change on a command, then press the key you want. Restore the shipped keys puts them all back. Page forward and Page back have no key until you give them one. Esc always leaves the prompter and can't be reassigned.

On the Mac: Shift-Command-K is Call mode, Shift-Command-E the External Feed window, Shift-Command-N Nearby, Command-N a new script and Command-O import.

If that didn't work

If a key does nothing, check it isn't assigned to None on the Keys page. Write to us.
