These are all the shortcuts in the builder, grouped by task. The keys are for a Mac. On Windows, use Ctrl for ⌘ and Alt for ⌥.

The Keyboard page in Account settings lists the most used ones. It calls ⇧ ⌘ V "Paste and replace", and the right-click menu calls the same action Paste in place.

While the cursor is in a field, such as a setting in the right sidebar, the keys type or edit there instead. Press Esc to leave the field first. The text shortcuts below work while you edit text on the canvas. In the builder, ⌘ +, ⌘ − and ⌘ 0 zoom the canvas, not the browser page.

Undo

Shortcut	Action
`⌘` `Z`	Undo
`⇧` `⌘` `Z`	Redo
`⌘` `Y`	Redo, while you edit text on the canvas

Select

Shortcut	Action
`Esc`	Selects the block or section around the selection, one level per press, then selects nothing. With nothing selected, leaves Fullscreen.
`Enter`	Selects the first block inside the selected section or block
`Tab`	Selects the next block or section at the same level
`Shift` `Tab`	Selects the previous block or section at the same level
`Shift` and click a block on the canvas	Adds a block or section to the selection, or takes it out
`⌘` and click a row in the Sections list	Adds a row to the selection, or takes it out
`Shift` and click a row in the Sections list	Selects every row from the last selected one to this one

Select blocks inside a section explains the levels.

Arrange

Shortcut	Action
`↑` `↓`	Move the selected block or section up or down
`←` `→`	Move a block left or right inside a Group with the Row layout
`⌘` `G`	Group the selected blocks (not sections)
`⇧` `⌘` `G`	Ungroup the selected Group
`⌘` `D`	Duplicate
`⌫` (Backspace) or `Delete`	Delete the selection. With a whole page selected, which you do with Select this page above the page outside Fullscreen, asks to delete that page.
`⌥` while you drop a row in the Sections list	Copy the row there instead of moving it

Move, group and arrange blocks covers each action.

Copy and paste

Shortcut	Action
`⌘` `C`	Copy
`⌘` `X`	Cut
`⌘` `V`	Paste
`⇧` `⌘` `V`	Paste in place, which replaces the selected block or section with the copy
`⌥` `⌘` `C`	Copy style: the design settings of the selection, without its content
`⌥` `⌘` `V`	Paste style

Copy, paste and copy styles explains where a paste lands.

`⌫` at the start	Join a paragraph or list item to the one above, or delete an empty block
