While you type

While the cursor is in a text field, or in text you edit on the page, four shortcuts still act on the builder: Escape, Cmd/Ctrl + E, Cmd/Ctrl + . and Cmd/Ctrl + ;. Every other combination, such as Cmd/Ctrl + C, does what the text editor or browser normally does.

Some shortcuts work only in certain cases:

  • Edit with AI needs Enable page creation assistant on the AI settings page. It does not work on Drupal blocks, views or the container itself, nor on images when image generation is off.
  • Copy element works wherever the More menu offers Copy: on every element except columns. Cut element works only on content elements, as Cut in the More menu does.
  • Clone element works wherever the More menu offers Clone: on every element except columns and carousel slides; see Duplicate an element with Clone.
  • Edit Drupal View works only on a Views element.
  • View AI experiment works only on an element with A/B test variants, or on a Views element with a smart sort experiment.
