Here’s a complete list of shortcuts for both PC and Mac. What are your favorite keyboard shortcuts? Be sure to save this for later. Enrich someone’s life and share this information with friends. Pin it, tweet it, bookmark it, and go. Note: I am using Silhouette Studio Business Edition. Not just in Silhouette Studio – -but whenever I am on the computer. So today, I thought I would share with you my top 10 Favorite in Silhouette Studio — and then a link to where you can find them all! Single Key Shortcuts — Several shortcuts in Studio only require a single key stroke on your keyboard. These do not need to be capitalized.

Keyboard Shortcuts play an essential role in Studio One. Although you can do everything with mouse/ trackpad/ trackball, Keyboard Shortcuts can speed up your workflow dramatically. The perfect workflow is probably the combination of both.

Keyboard Shortcuts with modifier keys are shown with the Windows modifier key first, as follows: [Win modifier key]/[Mac modifier key]+[key]. For example: [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[C] means “press [Ctrl]+C in Windows, or press [Cmd]+C in Mac OS X.”

Where there is no difference between the Windows and Mac version of a key command, only one key command will be displayed. Example: [F3].

In several instances, options are located in the Studio One menu in the Windows version but in Preferences in the Mac OS X version. In these cases, the Windows location is given first, and the Mac location follows in [brackets].

A complete list of key commands is always available via Studio One/Keyboard Shortcuts, which will render an HTML document and open it in your browser with the currently configured key commands.

To access and modify the Keyboard Shortcuts do one of the following:

  • Click Keyboard Shortcuts in the Studio One menu or
  • Use the Keyboard Shortcut [Ctrl]/[Command] - [,]

Some of you who are coming from/ still using other DAWs like Logic, Pro Tools or Cubase might find it helpful to switch the Keyboard Shortcut set to one specifically created to make the transition easier.

I for one cant recommend it highly enough to bring basics in sync with your other DAW. I am coming from and still using Logic Pro. Having Keyboard Shortcuts like navigation and editing in sync is crucial to me.

If you dont know what a specific Keyboard Shortcut does i.e. the letter 'Z' just hit it and after that open the Keyboard Shortcuts window. The Keyboard Shortcut will be shown and selected automatically.

In the Studio One/Keyboard Shortcuts window, you can modify the existing key commands to be anything you like, as well as adding commands for functions that don't have default Keyboard Shortcuts.

To modify any Keyboard Shortcut:

  1. Find the function for which you wish to edit the Keyboard Shortcut by typing in the name of the function in the Search field.
  2. When the function is found, select it by clicking on it in the list on the left.
  3. Click in the Enter Key field and then input any key combination, using your
    computer keyboard. Your key combination should then be displayed.
  4. Click Assign to assign this key command to the selected function.
  5. If the key command you are trying to assign is already in use, the current use will be displayed below the Enter Key field, along with a Show link that will select that function for you so that you can change it.
  6. Click on the Keyboard Mapping Scheme selection box to choose from the following options: Import: Select to import a Studio One Keyboard Mapping Scheme.
    Export: Select to export your Studio One Keyboard Mapping Scheme. (Put it into i.e. Dropbox for easy back and recall)
    Export as Text: Select this to export your Studio One Keyboard Mapping Scheme as a text file so that you can create a reference guide to your custom mappings.

Happy noise making

Shortcut keys are a good way to work more efficiently when drawing digitally. Most graphics software allows you to change tools or execute menu commands using such shortcut keys. Use your drawing tablet with one hand and keep the other hand on the keyboard to access more functions within the program and be more efficient.

Shortcut keys are essential for many, if not most, advanced artists.

Some go beyond customizing their own shortcut keys and are even using specialized devices!
The more you draw, the more important shortcut keys become.
In this article, we will explain some of the basic shortcuts you can find in most drawing software.

Using shortcuts

By using shortcut keys, you can make drawing with your software much easier!

This tutorial uses the Clip Studio Paint UI, but you can use the same shortcut keys for Photoshop and Paint Tool SAI.

Example 1: Zooming in on the canvas

Use the following shortcut key to zoom in on your canvas.

Hold down Ctrl and press +.

This will zoom in step by step each time you press the + key. The example below was zoomed in on three times by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing + three times.

Note

  • macOS users can do the same by holding down the Command key instead of the Ctrl key.
  • You can use both Ctrl keys on the keyboard for this.

If you’re using a drawing tablet or mouse to zoom in on the canvas, you don’t have to click the zoom icons or use the menu commands to do so.

Example 2: Picking up colors with the [Eyedropper] tool

Use the following shortcut key to temporarily change your brush to the [Eyedropper].

Hold down the Alt key.

When using a brush, it will change to the Eyedropper tool when pressing the Alt key.

This way, you can easily pick up colors by clicking on the canvas with the mouse or the tablet pen.

Note
macOS users can do the same by holding down the Opt key instead of the Alt key.
