# Keyboard Shortcuts

Less clicking. More doing.

YouDesign Blueprints supports keyboard shortcuts for search, save, canvas navigation, zoom, and tutorial control. Most work without setup.

{% hint style="info" %}
Shortcuts work inside the YouDesign Blueprints app, scoped to ServiceNow under `x_inpi_ydbp`. The single-character zoom shortcuts (`+`, `-`, `0`) are off by default and need Single-Character Shortcuts to be enabled in Settings and Accessibility before they take effect.

## Global shortcuts

| Shortcut           | What it does                                                        |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Ctrl+F` / `Cmd+F` | Focuses the search field on the current screen.                     |
| `Esc`              | Closes the current dialog, tooltip, tutorial, or editor side panel. |

## Search behavior by screen

Ctrl+F / Cmd+F focuses different fields depending on the screen:

* **Home:** the header search field
* **Template Editor:** the **Search ServiceNow tables** field in **Add Table**
* **Blueprint Editor:** the **Search tables and elements** field in **Data Hub**

## Editor shortcuts

These shortcuts apply in **Template Editor** and **Blueprint Editor**.

| Shortcut           | What it does                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Ctrl+S` / `Cmd+S` | Saves the current template or blueprint (equivalent to clicking **Save** or **Update**).                                                                      |
| `Esc`              | Closes the right **Data panel** first, then the **Data Hub** on the left. Only works when no dialog is open and your cursor is not in an editable text field. |

## Canvas shortcuts

These work when the canvas is focused.

| Shortcut                       | What it does                |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------- |
| `Ctrl+Z` / `Cmd+Z`             | Undo the last change        |
| `Ctrl+Shift+Z` / `Cmd+Shift+Z` | Redo the last undone change |
| `Arrow Left`                   | Pan left                    |
| `Arrow Right`                  | Pan right                   |
| `Arrow Up`                     | Pan up                      |
| `Arrow Down`                   | Pan down                    |

## Zoom shortcuts

These shortcuts depend on **Single-Character Shortcuts** being enabled in **Settings**.

| Shortcut   | What it does                 |
| ---------- | ---------------------------- |
| `+` or `=` | Zoom in                      |
| `-` or `_` | Zoom out                     |
| `0`        | Fit or reset the canvas view |

Mouse wheel and trackpad gestures also work for zooming.

## Add Table panel navigation

When focus is inside the hierarchical **Add** Table list in Template Editor:

| Shortcut                  | What it does                             |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `Arrow Up` / `Arrow Down` | Move between rows                        |
| `Arrow Right`             | Expand a scope or related-list section   |
| `Arrow Left`              | Collapse a scope or related-list section |
| `Enter` / `Space`         | Activate the focused row or control      |

## Tutorial overlay navigation

When a tutorial is open:

| Shortcut                 | What it does           |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------- |
| `Arrow Right` or `Enter` | Next tutorial step     |
| `Arrow Left`             | Previous tutorial step |
| `Esc`                    | Close the tutorial     |
|                          |                        |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Practical tips**

* If `Ctrl+F` seems to do nothing, check whether the relevant panel is closed. The app often opens the correct panel first and then focuses the search field.
* If `+`, `-`, or `0` do not work, enable Single-Character Shortcuts in [Settings and Accessibility](/blueprints/personalize/settings.md).
* If undo or redo does not work, click the canvas first to make sure keyboard focus is on it.
