The keys that matter#
Most editing in CubeSites is pointer work: click to select, type to change. The keyboard adds speed for the repetitive moves, and one habit, Alt+Click, that changes what you are editing without reaching for menus.
Press ? anywhere in the editor for the same list, and the Help menu in the toolbar has it too, along with the welcome guide and the getting-started checklist.

Step 1 of 4
Undo and redo
Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z, working the same as everywhere else in your day.
Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Z | Undo the last change |
| Ctrl+Shift+Z | Redo |
| Ctrl+S | Save now |
| Ctrl+D | Duplicate the selected section |
| Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V | Copy a section and paste it below the selection |
| Right-click | Quick actions for the section or part |
| Alt+Click | Select a part inside a section |
| Del | Delete the selected section |
| Esc | Deselect, or leave a field |
| / | Quick add: search for a section to add |
| P | Toggle Click through |
| ? | Open this list |
Two habits worth keeping#
Alt+Click before reaching for the inspector: half of the small changes are to a part, not a section, and the menu then offers exactly the right actions.
And press / when you know what you want but not where it lives. Typing "prices" or "opening hours" is faster than remembering which category holds it.

Common questions
Do shortcuts work while typing text?
The editing keys do, which is why undo also works mid-sentence. / and ? wait until you are not in a text field.
