    What are the keyboard shortcuts?

    PubKeep uses the same keyboard shortcuts as Publisher for most everyday tasks, and it can show you the full list any time.

    1. Click the Help tab.
    2. Click Keyboard Shortcuts. You can also press Ctrl+/ (Cmd+/ on a Mac).
    3. To find one quickly, type a word like “bold” or “page” in the Filter shortcuts box.
    4. Press Esc to close the list.

    The Keyboard Shortcuts list, grouped by File, Edit, View, Arrange, Text and Tools

    1. Click Search at the top of the window, or press Alt+Q (Option+Q on a Mac).
    2. Type what you want to do, like “wrap text”, or what Publisher called it.
    3. Press Enter to use the command or see where it lives.

    On a Mac, use Cmd wherever you see Ctrl.

    • Ctrl+S saves, and Ctrl+Shift+S is Save As.
    • Ctrl+P prints.
    • Ctrl+Z undoes. Ctrl+Y redoes (Cmd+Shift+Z on a Mac).
    • Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V copy, cut and paste.
    • Ctrl+D duplicates the selected object.
    • Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and Ctrl+U make text bold, italic or underlined.
    • Ctrl+F finds text.
    • Ctrl+G is Go To Page.
    • Ctrl+Shift+G groups the selected objects, or ungroups a group.
    • Ctrl+Shift+N adds a blank page after this one.
    • Ctrl+= and Ctrl+- zoom in and out. F9 switches between 100% and your last zoom.
    • F7 checks spelling.

    Some shortcuts only work when something is selected. For example, bold needs text selected, and group needs two or more objects selected. Select what you want to change and try again.
