You can see most of the shortcuts behind the respective menu items.

Mouse actions can be found here: [http://dynamoprimer.com/02\_Hello-Dynamo/2-3\_the\_workspace.html](http://dynamoprimer.com/02_Hello-Dynamo/2-3_the_workspace.html)

You’ll also find some other shortcuts throughoout the Dynamo Primer.

Here’s another useful one: [http://whatrevitwants.blogspot.de/2015/05/did-you-know-you-can-select-connected.html](http://whatrevitwants.blogspot.de/2015/05/did-you-know-you-can-select-connected.html)

And of course the Esc key which lets you clear the search field in the node browser (as well as toggle to geometry view if you keep it pressed down).

</div>

Ctrl+Shift+Up : Show Console  
Ctrl+0 : Zoom on current block

I once manage to convert a block to a code block with the corresponding code line, but I don’t know how I did… Does someone know that shortcut ?

Any update to this at all?

I really like keyboard shortcuts. I add a few of my own in Revit and would like to do the same with Dynamo (or work out what the preset ones are).

In addition to the ones listed above:

I’ve discovered Ctrl+Y also opens a note (as well as Ctrl W)

Ctrl i seems to make the graphics go see through but I’m not quite sure if there’s something else happening. Anyone know?

Select node + Ctrl +left mouse drag - copies that node.

Ctrl + P: Pan  
I’m using my laptop and forgot my mouse.

Is there a way to Freezing / Display the nodes? We can only do it one by one manually? 😅

I hope we can define activate/deactivate the freeze and preview hotkey. It would be so useful.
