What’s new?
We added keyboard shortcuts to the standard workflow builder so you can build, edit, and navigate workflows faster with the keyboard. This includes shortcuts for node movement, selection, copy and paste, delete actions, zoom controls, panel access, and saving.
How it works
Inside the standard builder, shortcuts are grouped into 5 areas: Essential, Edit, View, Navigation, and Tools. Depending on the action, shortcuts work on the selected node, all actions from the selected node onward, or the current builder view.
How to use it
- Open a workflow in the standard builder.
- Select a node when needed, then use the matching shortcut.
- Save your workflow and keep building without switching back to clicks.
Why we built it
Workflow building often involves the same actions again and again. These shortcuts cut down on repetitive clicks, speed up edits, and make it easier to work through larger workflows.
