Keyboard Shortcuts

Master Diagrammix with these shortcuts. Single-letter tool shortcuts work while the canvas has focus and you aren't typing text.

Tools

Key	Tool
`V` or `Space`	Select
`C`	Connector (with a shape selected, starts a connector from it)
`T`	Text (with an item selected, edits its text)
`H`	Pan
`Z`	Zoom
`I`	Copy Style

Shape and drawing tools (Rectangle, Circle, Line, Polygon, Path, Freehand, …) have no letter shortcuts — pick them from the Draw menu in the toolbar.
