Keyboard shortcuts

Timers Studio can be driven almost entirely from the keyboard. This page is the reference for every shortcut, grouped by surface. The fastest way to find a shortcut during a show is to press ? inside the Studio — the ShortcutsModal opens with the same list.

Studio

Available while focus is on the Studio (/id/<room>). Typing into a text field suspends these shortcuts — they resume once the field is blurred.

Key	Action
`Space`	Play / pause the active timer
`←`	Previous timer in the rundown
`→`	Next timer in the rundown
`S`	Stop the active timer
`R`	Reset the active timer
`+` / `-`	Tweak the active timer by ±30 s
`Shift` + `+` / `-`	Tweak by ±1 minute
`F`	Toggle Studio fullscreen
`M`	Open the message composer
`B`	Toggle blackout
`T`	Toggle test pattern
`?`	Show the shortcuts modal
`Esc`	Close any open modal

Player

Available on any tab opened at /player/<room>.

Key	Action
`F`	Toggle fullscreen
`H`	Flip horizontally (local to this tab)
`V`	Flip vertically (local to this tab)
`R`	Rotate 90° (cycles through 0° / 90° / 180° / 270°)
`Esc`	Exit fullscreen

Moderator

Available at /moderator/<room> once signed in.

Key	Action
`Space`	Play / pause the active timer
`←` / `→`	Previous / next timer
`D`	Toggle Design mode (rearrange widgets)
`I`	Jump focus to the intercom composer
`1` … `9`	Jump to the nth widget
`?`	Show the shortcuts modal
`Esc`	Leave Design mode

Agenda

The Agenda is read-only for the audience; the shortcuts below work from the operator’s Studio tab when the Agenda preview is focused.

Key	Action
`1`	Switch to LIST mode
`2`	Switch to FOCUS mode
`3`	Switch to CURRENT_NEXT mode

Global

These work everywhere in the app.

Key	Action
`?`	Show shortcuts for the current surface
`Esc`	Close modal or overlay
`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `K`	Open the command palette (where available)
`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `S`	Save the current draft (rundown, agenda, theme)

macOS vs Windows

Shortcuts that use a modifier use Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows/Linux. Everything else is identical across platforms. OBS browser sources forward keyboard input only when the source is the active dock — click once inside the source before using shortcuts.

FAQ

What if a shortcut collides with my browser? Browser shortcuts win when the tab is not focused on an input. If F or Cmd + S does not toggle the Studio action, click once inside the Studio body, then try again.

Are shortcuts localised? No. The product ships with a fixed Latin keymap across all languages. Arabic, Japanese and Chinese UIs use the same keys. This keeps documentation and videos interchangeable.

Can I customise the shortcuts? Not in v17.0.11. Custom bindings are on the backlog but not shipped.
