This page lists every keyboard shortcut in ShuffleKit, grouped by the screen it works on. The Design editor and the Playtable have their own full references, linked at the end.
Shortcuts only fire where you are working. A shortcut for the sheet does nothing while you are typing in a search box or a dialog, and a dialog's keys stop at the dialog. On a Mac, ⌥ is Option.

Card sheet
These work on the Data tab in Sheet view once a cell is selected. If no cell is selected, the first arrow key or Tab selects the top-left cell. See Working With Cards.

Ctrl+Z |
| Redo | ⌘⇧Z or ⌘Y |
Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y |
Typing a letter or number starts an edit in Text, Number and Select cells. A Number cell only starts on a character a number can begin with. On an Image, Icon, Icon list or Color cell, Enter opens its picker instead.
Undo covers cell values, including paste, clear and fill down. It doesn't bring back deleted cards or columns.

|---|---|---|
| Copy the selected cells | ⌘C |
Ctrl+C |
| Cut | ⌘X |

| Paste, from ShuffleKit or a spreadsheet | ⌘V |
Ctrl+V |
| Fill down (the top cell of the selection into the cells below; with one cell, the cell above into it) | ⌘D |
Ctrl+D |
In a project shared with you as view only, the keys that change data (Delete, ⌫, cut, paste, fill down, undo, redo) are switched off; moving, selecting and copying still work.
