Configuring keyboard shortcuts
Custom key + wheel bindings on desktop (v1.30.1+)
Desktop shortcut settings now support custom key + wheel bindings in addition to plain wheel or modifier-only combinations.
This is useful when you want faster one-hand access to actions such as canvas zoom, brush size, palette navigation, frame/layer navigation, tool cycling, or pen opacity, without consuming more traditional key shortcuts.
Custom key and wheel shortcut bindings
Import, export, and share shortcut layouts (v1.29.2+)
- Import/Export config (
.reskbd) – back up your setup, sync across devices, or share team presets. - Export cheatsheet – generate a quick-reference sheet from your current bindings.
