Why Use Keyboard Shortcuts?

Using keyboard shortcuts allows you to navigate the site and perform various tasks easily without mouse clicks.

In Framer, frequent tasks like publishing sites, duplicating items, and adding frames can be executed quickly using predefined shortcut combinations. Especially for designers, leveraging shortcuts is recommended to maintain a seamless workflow.

Understanding Differences Between Mac and Windows

Framer works well on any browser-based platform, but it's important to understand the shortcut differences between Mac and Windows. In most cases, Mac's Cmd corresponds to Windows' Ctrl, and the Option key corresponds to the Alt key.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. Can I customize the default shortcuts provided in Framer?

• No, all shortcuts in Framer are fixed into the Framer system, and users cannot change key combinations.

Q. Do Framer shortcuts take precedence over browser shortcuts when used in a browser?

• Yes, when Framer is active, its shortcuts generally take precedence over most browser shortcuts. However, critical control functions of the operating system or browser, such as CMD + W (close window), remain intact, so be careful not to accidentally close the working tab.

Q. Can I continue design work with the shortcuts list popup open?

• No, the shortcut help window is modal, so you can't edit the canvas while it's open.
