Keyboard shortcuts help most when the planner starts getting large. They are mainly about faster selection, copy-paste, and quick canvas actions.

On Windows and Linux, the main modifier is usually Ctrl. On macOS, Ferrumium also supports Cmd for the same selection and clipboard shortcuts.

Canvas shortcuts

These are the shortcuts you will use most often while working inside the planner:

Menus and dialogs

Escape is the common close key across the planner.

You can use it to close things like:

• right-click menus
• pickers
• modal dialogs

If a surface can be dismissed without confirming an action first, Escape is usually the first key to try.

What these shortcuts do not override

Ferrumium avoids stealing common text-editing shortcuts while you are typing in an input, text area, or other editable field.

That means shortcuts like Ctrl/Cmd + A, Ctrl/Cmd + C, and Ctrl/Cmd + V stay focused on the text field when you are actively editing text instead of changing the canvas selection behind it.

Co-op limitation

During live co-op, Undo and Redo are blocked.

That includes the usual combinations:

• Ctrl/Cmd + Z
• Ctrl/Cmd + Y
• Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + Z

This keeps one person's local history from drifting away from the shared planner state.

Practical habit

The simplest useful combo set is:

• use Shift + Drag to grab a section
• use Ctrl/Cmd + C and Ctrl/Cmd + V to duplicate it
• use Alt + Drag when you want the branch-out menu instead of the automatic next step

That small set covers most day-to-day speedups in the planner.
