# Modular Shortcuts

Work faster in the Modular Configurator. Learn the keyboard shortcuts for saving, exporting, zooming, cloning and managing items.

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

{% hint style="warning" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

***

## Keyboard shortcuts

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.

{% hint style="info" %}
On Apple Mac devices, use `cmd` instead of `ctrl`.
{% endhint %}

## 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="83.72265625">#</th><th>Action</th><th>Shortcut</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Rotate scene left</td><td><code>←</code></td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Rotate scene right</td><td><code>→</code></td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Rotate scene up</td><td><code>↑</code></td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Rotate scene down</td><td><code>↓</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

***

## Save shortcuts

{% hint style="info" %}
The save shortcuts are only available when the user is logged in.
{% endhint %}

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="85.9609375">#</th><th>Export type</th><th>Shortcut</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Image export</td><td><code>i</code> or <code>ctrl</code> + <code>i</code></td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Scene/model export</td><td><code>e</code> or <code>ctrl</code> + <code>e</code></td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>PDF export</td><td><code>p</code> or <code>ctrl</code> + <code>p</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
