Keyboard and canvas
Keyboard shortcuts and canvas navigation in the KopiMark editor — pan, zoom, select text and image nodes, switch languages, and run bulk actions.

The KopiMark editor is built around the canvas. This page is a reference for moving around inside it efficiently.
Heads up — keyboard shortcuts evolve as the editor does. If a shortcut here disagrees with the tooltip you see in the app, trust the app. The app is the source of truth; this page is a snapshot.
Canvas navigation
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Pan the canvas | Hold spacebar and drag, or middle-mouse drag |
| Zoom in / out | Cmd / Ctrl + scroll, or pinch on a trackpad |
| Zoom to fit | Double-click empty canvas (or use the toolbar Fit button) |
| Reset zoom to 100% | Toolbar 100% button |
Selecting nodes
- Click a node to select it. The side panel switches to the text or image editor for that node.
- Click again on the same node to enter inline edit mode (text only).
- Click empty canvas to deselect.
You can drag-select a region for multi-select, then use the Bulk actions panel for set-status, translate, or assign actions.
Inside the text editor
When a text node is selected and the side panel shows its editor:
- Type to edit. The canvas reflows live.
- Enter to commit. Escape to discard your draft.
- Newlines are supported; the rendered design honours line breaks.
The text-revision list (the History panel) shows every prior wording with who edited it and when.
Comments
- Click the comment tool in the toolbar, then click anywhere on the canvas to drop a pin.
- Click a pin to open its thread.
- The Comments side panel (speech-bubble icon, top of the editor) is a faster way to scan every thread on the page.
Language switching
The language switcher is in the editor toolbar (a flag or locale code). Use it any time to flip what the canvas renders.
When a target language is active:
- Untranslated nodes fall back to the source with a slightly muted visual.
- The side panel shows both source and target so you can edit either.
Status pill
Each selected node shows its current status as a coloured pill in the side panel. Click the pill to change the status; click the Assign control next to it to hand the node to a teammate. See Statuses and approvals.
What the page-grid keyboard does
In the project home (the grid of pages):
- Type to search by page name. The grid filters live.
- Click a status chip at the top to filter the grid by status.
- Click a page tile to open it in the editor.
