Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts for the Flow canvas: moving around, working with nodes, arranging the layout, and testing a workflow.

These shortcuts work on the Flow canvas. In VS Code, the extension has its own keybindings for some of the same actions, listed in VS Code extension.

Note:

Shortcuts that use Cmd on Mac use Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Shortcuts don't work while you type in a field, a text area, or the properties panel.
