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

| Paste rows or cells |
|
| Cancel a pending copy or cut, and clear the current selection |
