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
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, though a trackpad pinch does.

Space does three things without them colliding. A tap jumps to the next suggestion — it fires on release, and is skipped entirely if you panned while holding it. A hold pans. A double-tap cycles the zoom modes.

Models¶

Action	Shortcut

Other¶

Action	Shortcut
Dismiss all notifications	`Cmd`+`Shift`+`D`
