Keyboard shortcuts

Everywhere

KeyAction
Tab from the top of the pageSkip to main content
EscClose a menu, dialog, or picker, and return focus where it came from

Console

KeyAction
EnterSend the command
Shift+EnterAdd a line, to send a short script in one go
/ Walk back and forward through commands you have sent
TabComplete against the commands your machine reports

Tab completion fills in as far as the candidates agree, then offers the rest to pick from. With nothing to complete, Tab keeps its usual job of leaving the field.

Your browser keeps command history, which survives a reload.

The mouse's back and forward buttons do the same as the arrow shortcuts above. To see this same list without leaving the page, open the shortcuts icon in the editor toolbar, or press Ctrl+?.

Dashboard

GestureAction
Click the gear on a cardQuick settings, in place
Ctrl+click the gearThe full settings pane, with the card docked beside it

You can do everything a dragged card does with buttons too: move it earlier or later, change its column, hide it, or collapse it. Dragging is faster, but buttons reach every action too.

Temperature chart

Focus the chart on the Temperatures card and:

KeyAction
/ Step back and forward one recorded sample
EscStop reading the past and return to now

The readings in the list above the chart follow the point in time you are pointing at. Target boxes do not follow it: they always show the setpoint the printer is on right now.

Bed plan

KeyAction
Move the target by one jog step
EnterSend the nozzle there, same as Go
EscClear the target without moving anything

A double-click on the plan does the same as Enter. A single click only aims and does not move anything. This is the one control that can send the nozzle all the way across the bed in one move, and doing that over a printed part causes a crash.
