SketchFlow keyboard shortcuts
Most of SketchFlow can be driven from the keyboard. Single keys switch tools whenever you are not typing in a text box; combinations use Ctrl on Windows and Linux and Cmd (⌘) on a Mac, and Alt is Option on a Mac. Press ? on the board to see this list there. New to the board? Read the SketchFlow guide.
