Keyboard shortcuts
Crevano uses the shortcuts you already have in your fingers from other editors. Everything below also exists on a menu or a button, so nothing here is the only way to do something.
On Windows and Linux, press Ctrl wherever this page says ⌘. The app changes its own menu labels when it detects a non-Mac keyboard, so what you see on screen will match your keyboard.
Tools
| Key | Does | |---|---| | V | Select tool — the arrow. Click things, drag them, resize them | | H | Hand tool. Drags the canvas around, and drags a photo inside its frame | | Hold Space | Temporary hand tool. Let go and you are back on the arrow | | C | Crop the selected photo |
Editing
| Key | Does | |---|---| | ⌘Z | Undo | | ⇧⌘Z or ⌘Y | Redo | | ⌘X | Cut | | ⌘C | Copy | | ⌘V | Paste | | ⌘D | Duplicate — the copy lands slightly down and right of the original | | ⌘A | Select everything on the page | | Delete or Backspace | Delete what is selected | | Esc | Deselect. If you are cropping, it cancels the crop |
Arranging
| Key | Does | |---|---| | ⌘G | Group | | ⌘U or ⇧⌘G | Ungroup | | ⌘L | Lock or unlock | | ⌘] | Bring to front | | ⌘[ | Send to back | | Arrow keys | Nudge by a small step | | Shift + arrow keys | Nudge by a bigger step | | Shift + click | Add something to the selection | | Shift while rotating | Snap the rotation to 15° |
View
| Key | Does | |---|---| | ⌘0 | Fit the page to the window | | ⌘= or ⌘+ | Zoom in | | ⌘- | Zoom out | | ⌘R | Rulers on or off | | ⌘; | Guides on or off | | ⌘' | Grid lines on or off | | Page Down | Next page | | Page Up | Previous page |
Files
| Key | Does | |---|---| | ⌘S | Save, in whatever format you set as your default | | ⇧⌘S | Save as — choose the format and where it goes | | ⌘P | Print |
Crop mode
| Key | Does | |---|---| | Enter | Apply the crop | | Esc | Cancel and put the photo back |
> Note > Shortcuts do not fire while you are typing. If you are editing a text element or sitting in > a number box, the keystroke goes into the box, which is what you want. Press Esc or click > the page first.
The right-click menu
Right-clicking an element opens a menu with undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, duplicate, group, lock, layer order, crop, image properties and delete — with the shortcut printed beside each one. On a touchscreen, press and hold instead.
