Keyboard Shortcuts

ScriptCut’s keyboard shortcuts are guarded so they never fire while you are typing in a text field. On a Mac, use Cmd; on Windows, use Ctrl.

Press ? on any screen (or open Account menu > Keyboard shortcuts) to see the shortcuts for the screen you are on. Show every shortcut lists them all.
