Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut in Map on one page: the map, Focus View, the tools, the 3D view and chat. Keys are shown as they appear on a Mac.

Updated 2 minApplies to: MapFeedback →

Every tool in the toolbar shows its hotkey in its tooltip, so hover a tool to learn it.

Map also keeps its own list: click the ? in the top bar for Keyboard shortcuts. In the 3D view the same panel adds the 3D controls.

Count, Lineal and Area take two keys: press M, then C, L or A. Plain Q is Callout, not Comment; Comment is R, and its tooltip reads Comment (R). Snip to Chat has no key.

On the map, tools that need a drawing are grayed out and their tooltip reads Zoom into a drawing to use this tool. Scale has no hotkey; its button is the scale readout, which reports the scale once one is set (Scale ready: 1/16" = 1'-0"). Click it to edit the scale.
