Here’s everything you need to know to build your first flow 👀

Shortcuts

Hand & Select mode

It’s never been faster to navigate our open canvas with the new Select and Hand modes 🤩

Select

  • Shortcut: V

  • Click and drag over nodes to select them to move, duplicate or delete

Note: You can still multi-select the nodes by command+click (MacOS), ctrl+click (Windows) or shift+click (both).

Hand

  • Shortcut: H or hold space

  • Use your mouse to pan across the canvas

Undo/Redo

Restore nodes and links within the same session. So, if you close, refresh, or change the page, you won’t be able to undo/redo.

Mac:

  • Undo: command+z

  • Redo: shift+command+z

Windows:

  • Undo: control+z

  • Redo: control+y


Copy and paste

It’s now possible to not only copy and paste nodes in a flow but to your other flows within charles.
