# How to Use Keyboard Shortcuts

Be a power user with these time saving keyboard combos.

Keyboard shortcuts allow you to move throughout your application design quicker. 

**Zoom In:**  Hold the Command (mac) or Control (pc) key and press the **+** key.

**Zoom Out**: Hold the Command (mac) or Control (pc) key and press the **-** key.

**Zoom Out to View all Screens**: Hold the Command (mac) or Control (pc) key and press the + 1 keys.

**Scroll** **left/right/up/down**: You can either use your arrow keys to pan throughout the app or you can hold the space bar, then click and drag to pan around the canvas.

**Copy item**: Click the item(s) you want to copy and click Command (mac) or Control (pc) with the **C** key.

**Paste item**: Click the item(s) you want to copy and click Command (mac) or Control (pc) with the **V** key.

**Undo**: If you delete an item or move it to an area and then want it back or in its original place,  hold down Command (mac) or Control (pc) with the **Z** key. Note that undo also records clicks so you may need to do it quite a few times to return to where you were.

**Select Multiple Items:** Hold the **Shift** button while clicking each item you want.

**Grouping Items:** When you have selected multiple items the left bar will suggest you to group them, you can click that or Command (mac) or Control (pc) and the **G** key - you can also group an individual item.

**Display Screen Connections:** Shift + L will show you arrows of how your screens are linked. You can also turn this on and off from the left hand settings gear > display settings > screen connections.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.adalo.com/how-to/how-to-use-keyboard-shortcuts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
