Keyboard Shortcuts¶

These match SLEAP's defaults, so muscle memory carries over from the legacy GUI.

Cmd is shown for macOS; on Windows and Linux it is Ctrl.

Help ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts… shows the most common of these inside the app; this page is the full list.

Canvas gestures¶

Mouse and trackpad, on the video canvas.

Gesture	Action
Scroll / two-finger swipe	Pan — not zoom
`Ctrl` + scroll	Zoom, anchored at the cursor
Trackpad pinch	Zoom (in Chrome and Edge)
Middle-button drag	Pan
Drag on empty canvas	Selection box; hold `Shift` to add to the selection
Click a node	Select it
`Shift` + click a node	Mark every node of that instance complete, as in SLEAP
`Alt`+`Shift` + click a node	Add it to the selection, or remove it
Double-click a user instance	Add the nodes it's missing, as non-visible nodes to drag into place (as in SLEAP)
Drag a selected node	Move all selected nodes together
`Alt` + drag a node	Move the whole instance
`Alt` + scroll	Rotate the selected instance
Right-click a node	Flip it between visible and non-visible
Right-click an instance's body or empty canvas	Context menu: add, copy, paste, delete or merge instances, assign a track, mark the frame negative
Double-click a prediction	Accept it as your label
`Shift` + double-click a prediction	Accept it with every node marked complete
`Del` / `Backspace`	Delete the selected instance, when all its visible nodes are selected
Hold `Space` + drag	Pan
Double-tap `Space`	Cycle zoom: free → fit instances → fit frame
`Cmd` + drag, in pan mode (`P`)	Zoom by dragging
`Ctrl` + drag a user instance	Clone it and drag the copy — `Ctrl` on macOS too

Scrolling pans by default — deliberately, so a mouse wheel and a trackpad two-finger swipe behave identically without the app guessing which one you have. Hold Ctrl to zoom instead. Here Ctrl means Ctrl on macOS as well (as it does for Ctrl + drag to clone): Cmd with the scroll wheel does not zoom. A trackpad pinch zooms in Chrome and Edge.

Space does three things. A tap jumps to the next suggestion — it fires on release, and is skipped if you clicked or dragged while holding it. A hold pans (in pan mode, it selects instead). A double-tap cycles the zoom modes.

Models¶
