Keyboard shortcuts | Kwantflow

Keyboard shortcuts depend on your operating system, keyboard focus, and the current area of the app.

Kwantflow currently relies more on visible controls, tabs, and panels than on a large custom shortcut system.

Add a new line without sending	`Shift+Enter`

Viewer shortcuts

Viewer shortcuts work only when the viewer has keyboard focus.

3D CAD viewer

Action	Shortcut
Pan left, right, up, or down	Arrow keys

2D CAD viewer

Action	Shortcut
Return to selection mode	`Esc`
Erase the selected entities	`Delete` or `Backspace`

Review the selection before using an erase shortcut.

Standard text shortcuts

Standard desktop text behavior is available where the current control supports it.

Action	macOS	Windows
Copy	`Command+C`	`Ctrl+C`
Paste	`Command+V`	`Ctrl+V`
Select all	`Command+A`	`Ctrl+A`

Where shortcuts are most useful

copying values or notes
pasting data into dialogs
selecting text or table content
writing a multi-line AI request
moving around a focused CAD view

Use visible buttons, tabs, panels, and sidebar items as the primary navigation controls.

Practical expectation

If a shortcut does not work in the current area, click the relevant viewer or input first, or use the visible control instead.

Kwantflow intentionally keeps important estimating, deletion, approval, and quote actions available through visible controls rather than relying on hidden shortcuts.
