# Modular Shortcuts

Speed up common actions in the Modular Configurator using keyboard shortcuts for saving, exporting, zooming, cloning, and managing items.

## Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts can be used in the Modular Configurator to speed up common actions such as saving, exporting, zooming, cloning, moving, and deleting items.

Shortcuts are only available when the Modular Configurator is rendered in the modal embed experience where shortcuts are enabled. They are not active on mobile devices or in inline embed setups.

{% hint style="info" %}
Some shortcuts require the configurator canvas to be focused — click inside the configurator area first before using them. Item-specific shortcuts (delete, clone, move, and flip) also require an item to be selected.
{% endhint %}

On Apple Mac devices, use `cmd` instead of `ctrl`.

## Scene navigation

Use the arrow keys to rotate the scene camera. The canvas must be focused first — click inside the configurator area before using the arrow keys.

<table><thead><tr><th width="270.87890625">Action</th><th>Shortcut</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Rotate scene left</td><td><code>←</code></td></tr><tr><td>Rotate scene right</td><td><code>→</code></td></tr><tr><td>Rotate scene up</td><td><code>↑</code></td></tr><tr><td>Rotate scene down</td><td><code>↓</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Save shortcuts

The save shortcuts are only available when the user is logged in.

If the scene has already been saved, `ctrl` + `s` saves the current scene. If the scene has not been saved yet, `ctrl` + `s` opens the "Save as" flow.

Use `ctrl` + `shift` + `s` to open the "Save as" flow directly.

## Export shortcuts

The export shortcuts open the relevant export dialogs:

<table><thead><tr><th width="291.4375">Export type</th><th>Shortcut</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Image export</td><td><code>i</code> or <code>ctrl</code> + <code>i</code></td></tr><tr><td>Scene/model export</td><td><code>e</code> or <code>ctrl</code> + <code>e</code></td></tr><tr><td>PDF export</td><td><code>p</code> or <code>ctrl</code> + <code>p</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.mimeeq.com/configurator/getting-started/shortcuts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
