Keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut on the site in one place, from the F10 console and search through the study desk and the replay viewer's transport keys to the build editor.

ReferenceUpdated 2026-10-02

The site is deliberately light on chords: a handful of keys cover the surfaces you live in. Anything not listed here is mouse-first.

Global#

Keys Does
F10 Toggle the Command Console. Companion only: browsers reserve the key, so in a browser use the Dashboard button in the top bar instead
Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac) Open Search from any page on a desktop: jump to a lane, a page, a replay, a build or an article in this library
Esc Close the console, popovers, and modals
Tab While the console is open as a panel, focus cycles inside it

Replays tab#

Keys Does
Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac) Open or close the search palette over the replays on that screen (yours and the Pro Library): players, maps, builds and matchups. Works on the Replays tab's home screen, not inside the viewer, not while you type in a text field, and not while another dialog is open

Study desk#

Keys Does
Enter / Shift+Enter In the rail's coach: send / new line. In the note composer: save the note / new line
Esc Close the coach-and-notes drawer (on a smaller window, where the rail folds into a drawer)

Replay viewer#

Playback and camera:

Keys Does
Space Play / pause
← / → Seek 5 seconds back / forward
Home / End Jump to the start / end of the game
1 2 4 8 Playback speed
Q / W Rotate the map (desktop)
R Reset rotation and zoom
F Cycle the fog-of-war mode

Panels and tools:

Keys Does
S Clear your telestrator ink if you have any, otherwise toggle the sidebar
C Toggle the controls overlay
E Toggle the win-likelihood eval bar
D (tap) Toggle draw mode (the telestrator)
D (hold) Quick ink: draw while held, release to stop
Ctrl+Z Undo telestrator ink (also restores an accidental clear)
Ctrl+N Stamp a note at the current game time (your own uploads)
Hold right mouse Open the note radial on the canvas; release on a category to jot a time-stamped note
Enter / Shift+Enter In the AI coach panel: send / newline (viewer keys pause while you type there)

Build editor#

Keys Does
Ctrl+S Save ("★ Lock in")
Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z Undo / redo (history keeps the last 60 steps)

In game (Companion)#

The Stardex add-in has two hotkeys, and you can rebind both in Stardex's settings.

Keys Does
Ctrl+Shift+B Show or minimize the Stardex window. This one works over StarCraft II while Stardex is open.
Ctrl+Shift+T Put Stardex's window back to its default size, centred on your screen (not a position you moved it to). Only while the Stardex window has focus.

The retired Build Coach add-in's Alt+Shift+V no longer exists.

Mouse-and-touch notes: the replay canvas takes pointer input for pan, scrub, and draw on every device class, and the bracket view is drag-to-pan, scroll-to-zoom throughout.
