Canvas
Shortcuts & navigation
Mouse and keyboard on the canvas: zoom, pan, selection, the node context row, and the editor's Esc/Enter conventions.
Nothing here is required — everything has a button — but the canvas is faster once these are muscle memory.
Mouse
| gesture | does |
|---|---|
| scroll | zoom (toward the pointer) |
| space + drag | pan |
| drag empty canvas | pan (when nothing is selected) |
| click node | select + open Inspector |
| drag from a port | start an edge; drop on a target port to connect |
| click an edge | select it (delete removes it) |
| hover a node | reveal the context row — edit · dup · del |
Keyboard
| key | does |
|---|---|
| Esc | closes the topmost transient thing — plan peek, palette flyout, Inspector — one layer at a time |
| Enter in the chat | send; Shift+Enter for a newline |
| Ctrl/⌘ + I | open the AI command bar from anywhere |
| Delete/Backspace | remove the selected node or edge |
The node context row
Hovering any node shows three quick actions above it: edit (opens the Inspector — same as clicking), dup (a configured copy beside the original), del (removes the node and its edges).
Camera habits worth stealing
- Fit to view (rail or topbar) before screenshots or reviews.
- During AI builds, the camera follows the story — the current step pans into view as the walk moves. Take the wheel any time; the follow yields to you.
