Keyboard shortcuts

This page lists the keyboard shortcuts of the Luzbase editor. In the editor, press F1 or click Keyboard shortcuts in the toolbar to see the most common ones.

On a Mac, Cmd is the Command key (⌘) and Option is the Option key (⌥). Shortcuts cannot be changed, and there are no Vim or Emacs key bindings.

Compile, save and preview

Action	Mac	Windows and Linux
Compile	`Cmd`+`Enter` or `Cmd`+`Shift`+`Enter`	`Ctrl`+`Enter` or `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`Enter`
Open the Save version dialog	`Cmd`+`S`	`Ctrl`+`S`
Save the version (in the Save version dialog)	`Cmd`+`Enter`	`Ctrl`+`Enter`

Your work is saved as you type, so Ctrl+S does not “save the file”. It opens the dialog for saving a named version. See Save a version.

Paste the other way: in visual mode, a normal paste converts formatted text (for example from a web page) to LaTeX, and this shortcut pastes plain text instead. In the code editor, a normal paste inserts plain text, and this shortcut converts formatted text to LaTeX. The browser may ask for permission to read the clipboard.
