Below is a list of shortcuts available in score listed by scope of usage.

Shortcuts depend on the focused view. In particular, Ctrl+Enter compiles in a code editor but reinitializes in the score view, and Ctrl+Space requests completion in a text prompt rather than playing the score.

General

  • Ctrl+Shift+D(Win / Linux) or⌘+Shift+D(Mac): Show Device explorer panel
  • Ctrl+Shift+P(Win / Linux) or⌘+Shift+P(Mac): Show Processes library panel
