Speed up with keyboard shortcuts

1. Open the shortcuts reference

Not sure of a key? Click Shortcuts in the bottom-right widgets to pop open the full reference, every shortcut with what it does, so you never have to remember them all.

2. Toggle View and Edit

Tap E to flip between View and Edit without reaching for the top bar, the single most useful key while you work.

3. Copy and paste

⌘C copies the selected plant, object or area; ⌘V pastes it at your cursor. The fastest way to repeat a planting or duplicate a bed.

4. Select several at once

Hold ⇧ Shift and drag a box to marquee-select everything inside, or Shift-click items one by one to build a selection.

5. Move an area with its plants

Hold ⌥ Option (Alt) and drag an area to move it and everything standing on it: the plants, the objects, the fences, the beds drawn inside it and their ruler links. A whole bed relocates in one go, and so does the whole plot if you drag that.

Tip Forgot a shortcut? The in-app reference lists them all. Esc deselects, and while you are drawing or fencing it steps out one level at a time: first a typed number, then a locked length, then the run, with the drawing HUD relabelling its keycaps to say which one Esc will do next. A cancelled run comes back from the snackbar’s Undo for eight seconds.
