Shotgun Quick Tips: Keyboard Shortcut Ninja

Last time, I shared some tips to make you a Filter Panel guru. Today, I'll be sharing a couple of our favorite keyboard shortcuts that will help make you a Shotgun Ninja.

Ready? Here we go!

Anywhere:

• q - places your cursor directly in the upper right Global Search bar. Just start typing for results.
• n - activates a drop down list of items you can create. Use your arrow keys to select one and press enter.
• Alt on a New Creation Form - changes the Create button to Create and Keep Values.  Great for entering a lot of similar information.
• Alt+Shift on a New Creation Form -  changes the Create button to Create and Clear Values.  Handy for entering a lot of the same type of thing.

On a page of results:

• return - when editing a cell, moves you to the cell below.
• enter+shift - when editing a cell, moves you to the cell above.
• tab - when editing a cell, moves you to the cell right.
• tab+shift - when editing a cell, moves you to the cell left.
• esc - when editing a cell, exits the cell.
• Alt+click on a group's label - collapses or expands all groups.
• Command+Click (Ctrl+Click for Linux/Windows) - select options in bulk. (Check out the previous Shotgun Quick Tips post for more.)

Screening Room/Overlay Player

• space - plays and pauses the loaded Version.
• Left and right arrows - moves clip forward or back one frame.
• n - in the Overlay Player, plays next Version.
• p - in the Overlay Player, plays previous Version.
• esc - exits the Overlay Player
• / or ? - in the Screening Room web app, reveals all available shortcuts.

That's all for now, but I'll be back in two weeks with a new tip.
