Keyboard shortcuts
Editor mode shortcuts — press a key with the map focused:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
V | View (pan) mode |
S | Select mode |
E | Edit vertices — reshape a polygon’s points |
P | Draw polygon |
L | Draw line |
. | Draw point |
H | Draw hole (only while editing a polygon) |
T | Text label |
Esc | Return to View (while drawing a hole, Esc first exits that tool) |
Shortcuts are ignored while you type in any text field, and when a modifier key (Cmd, Ctrl, or Alt) is held — so browser shortcuts like Cmd+P keep working.
You can turn shortcuts off entirely with the Keyboard shortcuts toggle in User Settings → Personalization.
