Keyboard Shortcuts

Press ? anywhere in the app to open the keyboard shortcuts help modal.

Global

Shortcut	Action
⌘F	Focus search / filter input
Esc	Close modal / deselect all / blur input
?	Open keyboard shortcuts help

Library / Grid

Shortcut	Action
↑ ↓ ← →	Navigate selection through the grid
⌘A	Select all visible clips
Space	Quick preview selected clip
Enter	Open full detail modal
T	Focus tag input for selected clip(s)
Backspace	Remove tag from selection
⌘⇧R	Send selected clips to DaVinci Resolve

Detail Modal

These shortcuts are active when the detail modal is open:

Shortcut	Action
←	Previous clip (lightbox-style nav)
→	Next clip (lightbox-style nav)
T	Focus tag input — start typing to add a tag
Space	Play / Pause video
K	Pause
J	Decrease playback speed (or skip back 5 s at minimum speed)
L	Increase playback speed
Esc	Blur the tag input if focused, otherwise close the modal

Focused tagging workflow

Pair the arrow keys with T to rip through your library: → to the next clip, T to focus the tag input, type a tag and press Enter, then Esc to blur the input, then → to move on. The grid auto-scrolls to keep the active clip in view, so closing the modal lands you right where you stopped.

Search Bar

These shortcuts are active when the search / tag input is focused:

Shortcut	Action
↓	Highlight next suggestion
↑	Highlight previous suggestion
Enter	Select highlighted suggestion
Esc	Close suggestions dropdown
Tab	Close suggestions dropdown
Backspace	Remove last tag (when input is empty)

TIP

Keyboard shortcuts are disabled while you're typing in a text input (except Esc which always works). This prevents accidental actions when entering tag names or search queries.
