The canvas moves the way you expect from an infinite board: pan to reposition, zoom to change scale, select nodes to act on them. Once these motions feel automatic, the rest of the Canvas gets out of your way.
Pan and zoom
- Scroll to pan in any direction; hold ⌘/Ctrl while scrolling to zoom.
- Drag on empty canvas to draw a selection box.
- Drag with the middle or right mouse button — or hold Space and drag — to pan.
- Right-click an empty spot to open the add-node menu at that point.
- Two-finger scroll to pan in any direction.
- Pinch to zoom in and out, anchored at your cursor.
Prefer CAD-style navigation? In Preferences you can switch the mouse-wheel mode so that scrolling zooms, left-drag pans, and ⇧-drag draws the selection box.
Select nodes
- Click a node to select it; the inspector opens with its controls.
- ⌘/Ctrl-click to add more nodes to the selection.
- Drag a marquee on empty canvas to select several at once — any node the box touches is included.
- ⌘ A selects every node; Esc deselects.
A floating action bar appears under any selection with Delete, Group / Ungroup, Auto layout (for two or more nodes, or a frame), and Generate all, which runs every runnable node in the selection.
Auto layout
When the board gets messy, auto layout arranges connected flows and packs loose nodes into a tidy arrangement, animating everything into place:
- Press ⇧ O — or click Auto layout in the left toolbar — to lay out the whole canvas.
- Use Auto layout in the selection action bar to tidy just a frame or a multi-selection, in place.
Command palette
Press ⌘ K (or click Search in the header) to open the command palette. It runs project actions, switches between Canvas and Studio, reopens recent projects, and opens Preferences or the shortcuts reference. Start typing and it also searches every node on the canvas by title, prompt, or type — select a result to jump straight to that node.
