Keyboard Shortcuts

A number of keyboard shortcuts are available for easy editing and navigation. These are:

  • Ctrl + click: Holding the Ctrl key and clicking on a node will bring that node into focus. This shortcut performs the same function as searching for that node specifically.
  • Shift + click: Holding down the Shift key allows for the selection of multiple nodes by clicking each node. Holding down Shift and clicking the background also allows for the selection of nodes in a rectangular area by clicking and dragging over that area.
  • Alt: Holding down the Alt key allows users to select nodes by hovering over them. This allows for fast selection of a large number of nodes.
  • Ctrl + z: Undo previous action.
  • Ctrl + y: Redo undone action.
  • Delete: Delete selected nodes.
  • Arrows: Move selected nodes in the arrow’s direction.
  • a: Select all graph nodes.
  • b: Break selected metabolite nodes.
  • c: Curve edges associated with selected node.
  • d: Automatically curve edges associated with selected nodes to estimated position.
  • f: Fix selected node.
  • h: Highlight selected metabolite node.
  • i: If a single reaction node is selected, isolate the reaction. If multiple nodes, or a single metabolite node, are selected, isolates metabolites.
  • j: Join Metabolites.
  • m: Toggle move labels functionality.
  • n: Select neighbors of selected nodes.
  • p: Finds shortest path between selected nodes.
  • q: If all selected metabolite nodes of degree one are secondary, makes those nodes primary. Otherwise makes all metabolites nodes of degree one secondary.
  • s: Shelve selected metabolite nodes.
  • t: Toggle fix status of selected node.
  • u: Untrap selected node from added shape.
  • p: Pause simulation.
  • r: Reload graph.
