Shortcuts and Gestures
The app leans on the gestures your browser already has. There are few keyboard shortcuts, and this page lists all of them.
What it is
Canvas gestures
- Pan the canvas - hold and drag empty space.
- Zoom - mouse wheel, or a pinch gesture on a trackpad or screen.
- Move objects - drag a card, note, token or die.
- Resize a card - pull the corner handle.
- Delete an object - drag it into the bin zone at the bottom of the screen.
Card actions
- Double click - flip the card.
- Right click or long press - card context menu: "Flip", "Bring to front", "Return to deck".
- Card buttons - quick flip and fullscreen view.
Card selector
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
+ or = |
One size step larger |
- |
One size step smaller |
| Left and right arrows | Move to the neighbouring card |
| Up and down arrows | Move one row up or down (in the grid) |
| Enter | Place the open card on the table |
| Escape | Close the preview; press again to close the selector |
The size scale can be focused with Tab and changed with the arrows - the same step as the "Smaller" and "Larger" buttons.
Dialogs and input fields
- Enter confirms: send a chat message, join by session code, save your name, apply an image crop.
- Escape closes: a confirmation dialog, the card context menu, the self-work guide, a deck popup, the fullscreen preview, the Air panel.
Room editor
- Backtick (
`) toggles the grid on and off.
How to use
Key steps
- Zoom with the mouse wheel or a pinch.
- Drag the canvas or objects to navigate.
- Flip cards with a double click; take the rest from the context menu.
- In the card selector, pick a size with
+and-without leaving the keyboard.
Scenarios
- Working through a layout: a double click flips a card without opening a menu.
- Browsing a deck: open the selector, press
+until the size is comfortable, then move with the arrows. - Precise placement in the room editor: turn the grid on with the backtick.
Tips and errors
- Gestures differ between devices - use whatever your system already does.
- If a shortcut does nothing, check whether the browser or an extension has taken it.
- Selector keys work only while the selector is open; otherwise the arrows scroll the page.
- On mobile, gestures are more comfortable than a keyboard.
