Keyboard shortcuts

MotionKit supports 27 keyboard shortcuts for fast, mouse-free workflows. All shortcuts work while the plugin window is focused.

`Space`	Play / Pause the timeline
`Home`	Jump to the beginning of the timeline (or work area start)
`End`	Jump to the end of the timeline (or work area end)
`R`	Toggle recording mode
`L`	Cycle loop mode: Once → Loop → Ping-Pong

Shortcut	Action
`K`	Add a keyframe at the current playhead position
`Delete` / `Backspace`	Delete selected keyframes
`.` (period)	Jump to next keyframe
`,` (comma)	Jump to previous keyframe
`⌘ A`	Select all keyframes
`⌘ C`	Copy selected keyframes
`⌘ V`	Paste keyframes at playhead
`⌘ X`	Cut selected keyframes
`⌘ D`	Duplicate selected keyframes at playhead

`←`	Move playhead one frame back
`→`	Move playhead one frame forward
`Shift + ←`	Move playhead 10 frames back

Several interactions use modifier keys for enhanced behavior:

Modifier	Context	Effect
`Shift`	Dragging keyframes	Constrains movement to horizontal (time) axis only
`Shift`	Clicking keyframes	Add to / remove from selection
`Alt / Option`	Dragging keyframes	Duplicate keyframes while dragging
`⌘`	Clicking in keyframe area	Box-select mode for selecting a range of keyframes

On Windows and Linux, replace ⌘ with Ctrl.
Shortcuts are processed by the plugin UI and do not conflict with Figma's built-in shortcuts.
Shortcuts only work when the MotionKit panel has focus. Click inside the plugin window before using keyboard shortcuts.
