Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut and mouse action in the HyoNova office, the office builder and the search dialog.
On this page
This page lists every shortcut in the HyoNova office. The same list, for the office itself, is in Settings › Controls inside the product. On a Mac, use ⌘ wherever this page says Ctrl.
Shortcuts do not act while you type in a text field — a search box, a message or a form — except Esc and Ctrl + K.
In the office#
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| W A S D or ↑ ↓ ← → | Move |
| Shift (while moving) | Run |

| M | Show or hide the minimap |
