# Journey map keyboard shortcuts

Work faster in the journey map editor with shortcuts for undo, zoom, and the most common card actions. The table below lists the Mac and Windows keys side by side.

#### Editor keyboard shortcuts

These shortcuts work while you have a journey map open in the editor.

| Action                                 | Mac                     | Windows                 |
| -------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Undo                                   | `CMD + Z`               | `CTRL + Z`              |
| Redo                                   | `CMD + Y`               | `CTRL + Y`              |
| Zoom in                                | `+`                     | `+` or `CTRL + "+"`     |
| Zoom out                               | `-`                     | `-` or `CTRL + "-"`     |
| Delete card                            | `Backspace` or `Delete` | `Backspace` or `Delete` |
| Expand card (widen across columns)     | `Right arrow`           | `Right arrow`           |
| Shrink card (narrow across columns)    | `Left arrow`            | `Left arrow`            |
| Duplicate card                         | `CMD + D`               | `CTRL + D`              |
| View mode / Hand mode (pan the canvas) | `Spacebar + arrow keys` | `Spacebar + arrow keys` |
| Exit Hand mode                         | `ESC`                   | `ESC`                   |

Card shortcuts act on the card you have selected. Click a card once to select it, then use the shortcut.

#### Other editor interactions

A couple of common actions use the mouse rather than a key combination:

* **Multi-select cards** - Hold `Shift` and click each card you want to include in a selection. See [How to bulk edit cards](/journey-maps/how-to-bulk-edit-cards.md) for what you can do with a multi-card selection.
* **Open a card's details** - Double-click a card to open its details panel.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpdesk.smaply.app/journey-maps/journey-map-keyboard-shortcuts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
