Annotator ships with default keyboard shortcuts that you can customize.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl+1 |
Switch to Edit mode |
Ctrl+2 |
Switch to Annotate mode |
Ctrl+Shift+E |
Open Export menu |
Ctrl+, |
Open Settings |
On macOS, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.
Keyboard shortcuts are stored in your browser's localStorage under the key annotator_hotkeys. Currently, customization is done by modifying this value directly — a UI for rebinding shortcuts may be added in a future release.
- In Annotate mode, simply select text to create a highlight — no keyboard shortcut needed
- Press Enter in the sidebar input to send a message
- Press Escape to close the Settings panel or Export menu
