When shortcuts are disabled

Shortcuts are automatically paused in these situations:

  • Text inputs – when you are typing in an input field (e.g., renaming a section or editing a seat number), key presses go to the field instead.
  • Modals – when a dialog is open, all shortcuts are paused except Escape, which closes the dialog.

Platform differences

On macOS, shortcuts that use Ctrl on Windows and Linux use Cmd instead. For example, Ctrl+S becomes Cmd+S. Single-key shortcuts (number keys, bracket keys, I) work the same on all platforms.
