Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys on a computer keyboard that perform a specific action or command within an application or operating system. Control + Z (undo) and Control + F (find) are two well-known “Ctrl” shortcuts.

In Webflow, the Designer has preset keyboard shortcuts to help speed up your design workflow. Here are a few examples: 

• Save as Snapshot — Shift + Command + S (on Mac) or Shift + Control + S (on Windows)
• Preview mode — Shift + Command + P (on Mac) or Shift + Control + P (on Windows)
• Guide overlay — Shift + Command + G (on Mac) or Shift + Control + G (on Windows)
• Select parent / child element — Up arrow / Down arrow
• Select sibling element — Left arrow / Right arrow

There’s even a shortcut for opening the shortcut cheat sheet (Shift + /).
