If you spend a lot of time building and editing workflows, this one will save you a noticeable amount of clicking. The standard workflow builder in ESC Hub now supports keyboard shortcuts - covering everything from copying and pasting nodes to zooming, navigating, and saving.

What's changed

Shortcuts are now available across five areas of the standard builder: Edit, View, Navigation, Tools, and Essential actions. Here is a quick overview of what is available:

Edit

• Copy, cut, and paste selected nodes - ⌘/Ctrl + C, X, V

• Copy or move all actions from a selected node onward - ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + C or X

View

• Zoom in and out - + and -

• Zoom to 100% - 0

• Fit the full workflow into view - 1

Navigation

• Select all nodes, actions, or triggers - ⌘/Ctrl + A and variations

• Move between nodes using the arrow keys

• Select upstream or downstream nodes - Shift + ↑ or ↓

Tools

• Delete selected nodes or all actions from a node onward - Del or ⌘/Ctrl + Del

• Open the trigger or action panel - Shift + Tab or Tab

• Save the workflow - ⌘/Ctrl + S

Some shortcuts require a node to be selected first before they will work.

Why it matters

Building workflows involves a lot of the same actions repeated - copying a sequence, moving between steps, saving as you go. Every one of those actions used to mean reaching for the mouse. With shortcuts in place, you can stay in flow and move through larger workflows much faster without constantly switching between keyboard and clicks.
