Keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut in Lecture Studio by screen: library, workspace, editor, preview and presenter mode, plus how to change them in Settings.

These are the defaults. The ones marked ✎ can be changed in Settings › Shortcuts (see Settings); menu shortcuts appear next to their items in the menu bar and follow a change at once.

⇧⌘E ✎Export the open deck to PDF or PowerPoint
