Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts let you edit transcripts faster. Shortcuts are customizable, and standard browser shortcuts also apply.

Click the Info button (i) in the editor toolbar to view the current shortcuts at any time.

Default Editor Shortcuts​

Playback:

  • Space - Play/Pause
  • Ctrl+Left (Cmd on Mac) - Rewind 5 seconds
  • Ctrl+Right (Cmd on Mac) - Forward 5 seconds
  • Ctrl+ + (Cmd on Mac) - Speed up
  • Ctrl+ - (Cmd on Mac) - Slow down

Customizing Shortcuts​

You can define your own shortcuts for the transcript editor from Profile > Keymap Settings.

Add a shortcut​

  1. Click Add Keymap.
  2. In the Key field, press your key combination, or type it manually. Up to three keys are supported, including the modifiers Ctrl, Shift, Alt, and Cmd (for example, f, Ctrl + f, or Ctrl + Shift + f).
  3. In the Value field, enter the function the shortcut should trigger.
  4. Click Create.

Use Clear combination to reset the captured keys and try again.

Delete a shortcut​

Click Delete on the shortcut's card. Deletion is immediate.

Tips​

  • Avoid combinations that clash with browser shortcuts such as Ctrl + T or Ctrl + W.
  • Custom shortcuts are personal to your account, not shared across your organization.

Browser Shortcuts​

Because Scriptix runs in the browser, standard browser shortcuts apply:

Text editing:

  • Ctrl/Cmd + C - Copy
  • Ctrl/Cmd + V - Paste
  • Ctrl/Cmd + X - Cut
  • Ctrl/Cmd + A - Select all

Navigation:

  • Tab - Move to the next element
  • Shift + Tab - Move to the previous element
  • Escape - Close a dialog

Platform differences:

  • Mac uses Cmd (⌘) and Option (⌥)
  • Windows and Linux use Ctrl and Alt
