Rundown supports keyboard shortcuts to help you work faster. Most shortcuts are active whenever you're not editing a cell. As soon as you click into a cell to type, shortcuts pause until you exit that cell. The Color Presets and Editing Cells shortcuts below are the exception: they only work while you're editing a cell.
Text Formatting
Apply formatting to selected cell content:
Mac | Windows / Linux | Action |
|
| Bold |
|
| Italic |
|
| Underline |
Color Presets
These shortcuts apply preset text and background colors to selected text while editing a cell. They work in both the rundown grid and the prompter editor.
Mac | Windows / Linux | Action |
|
| Red background, white text |
|
| Red text, no background |
|
| Green background, black text |
|
| Yellow background, black text |
Editing Cells
These shortcuts work while you're editing a cell. Use ⌘ Enter / Ctrl + Enter to work down a column quickly: type a value, press the shortcut to save and move to the row below, then press Enter to start editing that cell.
Mac | Windows / Linux | Action |
|
| Save the edit and select the cell directly below, in the same column |
|
| In a text cell, start a new line. In a Duration, Start Time or Preset Duration cell, save the edit and close the editor |
⌘ Enter/Ctrl + Enterworks in text cells and in the Duration, Start Time and Preset Duration timing cells.Rows hidden inside a collapsed group are skipped, the same as pressing the Down arrow.
On the last row there is no cell below, so the editor simply saves and closes.
Edit History
Mac | Windows / Linux | Action |
|
| Undo |
|
| Redo |
Copy, Cut & Paste
These shortcuts are context-aware. If you have rows selected (and no individual cells selected), they operate on entire rows. Otherwise they operate on the selected cell content.
Mac | Windows / Linux | Action |
|
| Copy rows or cells |
|
| Cut rows or cells |
|
| Paste rows or cells |
|
| Cancel a pending copy or cut, and clear the current selection |
Pasting into a different rundown: rows copied in one rundown can be pasted into another. Select a row in the destination rundown, then press ⌘ V / Ctrl + V. The right-click Paste Row Below option only appears for a copy made in the rundown you are currently in. See Copying Rows Between Rundowns.
Row Selection

Show Tracking
These shortcuts advance or rewind the tracked row during a live show. A row must already be tracked for these to work. Show callers can also double-click the row number cell to track that row instantly.

| Advance tracking to the next row |
| Go back to the previous row |
Double-click row number | Track that row (show caller only) |
Browser Zoom
Use your browser's zoom to make everything on the page bigger or smaller. This works in both the rundown grid and Prompter View.
Mac | Windows / Linux | Action |
|
| Zoom in |
|
| Zoom out |
|
| Reset zoom to 100% |
The
+shortcut uses the=key, so you don't need to hold Shift.Most browsers remember your zoom level for the whole site, so zooming one Rundown tab (for example, the prompter) also zooms your other Rundown tabs.
In Prompter View, browser zoom scales the whole page, including the header and controls. To change only the script text, use Font Size in Appearance Settings.
Prompter View
These shortcuts work in Prompter View. Like the grid shortcuts, they pause while you're editing a row so you can type normally.
