Keyboard shortcuts
Start, pause, skip and black out the screens from the keyboard.
Run the show from the keyboard on the Controller. To see the list in the app, open the three-dot menu at the top right and choose Keyboard shortcuts.
Running the show
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| Space | Start or pause the current timer |
| R | Reset the current timer |
| Left arrow / Right arrow | Previous or next timer |
| B | Blackout on or off |
These only work on a Controller that has control of the room. They’re ignored while you’re typing in a box, or while a menu or window is open, so a stray key can’t change the show.
Writing stage messages
While typing in the message draft (use Cmd instead of Ctrl on a Mac):
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + B | Bold the selected words |
| Ctrl + A | Select the whole message |
| Ctrl + Z | Undo |
| Ctrl + Shift + Z, or Ctrl + Y | Redo |
Everywhere
- Esc closes a menu or window, and leaves Shotimer’s fullscreen.
- F11 switches the browser itself in and out of fullscreen on Windows.
- Tab moves between buttons, and hover tips also appear when a button is reached this way.
- On these docs pages, / jumps to the search box.
