Keyboard Shortcuts

Content Studio supports a number of keyboard shortcuts for experienced users. These shortcuts are listed below. In some cases, the meaning of a shortcut is changes slightly with the current context (the Delete key, for example). Similarly, some shortcuts only work in certain contexts: the Ctrl+B shortcut, for example, only works when editing text in an HTML field.

You can display a list of shortcuts at any time by selecting View > View keyboard shortcuts....

Note that on Macs, some of the shortcuts may clash with OS X shortcuts. If this is the case, then the operating system wins, and the shortcut executes the OS X function, not the function listed below. For example, if you have enabled the OS X Spaces feature and use the default shortcuts, then the shortcuts Command+1 to Command+n will not affect Content Studio at all, but will switch screens as defined in your Spaces configuration.
