Keyboard Shortcuts¶

GLIDER uses your platform's standard shortcuts, so they follow the usual convention: Ctrl on Windows/Linux, Cmd on macOS.

File¶

Action	Shortcut
New experiment	`Ctrl`+`N`
Open…	`Ctrl`+`O`
Save	`Ctrl`+`S`
Save As…	`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`S`
Quit	`Ctrl`+`Q`

Edit¶

Action	Shortcut
Undo	`Ctrl`+`Z`
Redo	`Ctrl`+`Y` / `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`Z`

Running¶

Action	Shortcut
Start experiment	`F5`
Stop experiment	`Shift`+`F5`
Emergency stop	`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`Esc`

Emergency stop

Ctrl+Shift+Esc immediately drives connected devices to a safe state. Keep it in mind whenever you're testing unfamiliar hardware.

View & help¶

Action	Shortcut
Switch desktop ↔ Runner mode	`F11`
Help	`F1`

Discover the rest

Any command that has a shortcut shows it next to its entry in the menus (File, Edit, Experiment, View, Hardware, Run, Tools, Help). Browsing the menus is the quickest way to learn what's available.
