Key bindings

In the EDA UI, you can perform some common actions by pressing a fixed set of keys or key combinations.

Note: For a guide to these key combinations, do either of the following:
  • press "?" on your keyboard
  • click the Help icon from any page of the EDA GUI and select Hotkeys

Where a combination is shown as <key> + <key>, press the second key simultaneously or within two seconds of the first key to perform the action.

Where a combination is shown as <key> - <key>, press both keys at the same time to perform the action.
