Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts allow you to increase your productivity when designing diagrams for Objectives and Key Results, as well as Mindmap or Decision Tree diagrams.

Navigation

Arrow keys

Use the Arrow Keys to move around the items in the diagram. The function varies depending on whether you have the diagram displayed horizontally or vertically.

CTRL+Arrow keys

Used to expand or collapse actions in the diagram. When pressed, all sub-items will be expanded or collapsed.
