# Keyboard shortcuts

> Every keyboard shortcut in the Pascal editor — tools and modes, editing, drawing and placement, selection, and camera.

Shortcuts are context-aware: some only apply while you're drawing, placing, or have
something selected. The same list is available in the editor under **Settings →
Keyboard Shortcuts**. On Windows and Linux, `Cmd/Ctrl` means `Ctrl`.

Shortcuts don't fire while you're typing in a text field.

## Tools and modes

## Drawing and placement

These apply while a draw or placement is active — the contextual hint strip shows
which ones are live.
