Keyboard shortcuts

Every key Nitpix answers to, in one table.

Nitpix ignores its keys while you type in a field. Keys it uses never reach the page; any other combination with Alt, Ctrl or Cmd goes to the page as usual.

Everywhere#

Keys	Action
`Alt`+`Shift`+`M`	Turn Nitpix on or off
`1`	Inspect
`2`	Rulers
`3`	Colour picker
`T`	Text edges
`U`	Cycle units
`P`	Pause or resume
`O`	Change the ruler origin
`Enter`	Select the hovered element
`Space`	Pin or unpin the hovered element
`Shift`	Hold to measure from the pin
`C`	Copy the value under the cursor
`[`+`]`	Step through stacked elements
`Alt`+`Shift`+`↑ ↓ ← →`	Parent, first child, previous or next sibling
`Esc`	Step back; at the end, turn off

In the colour picker#

Keys	Action
`+`+`-`	Zoom in or out
`←`+`→`+`↑`+`↓`	Move one device pixel (Shift: 10)
`F`	Next format (Shift: previous)
`Enter`	Copy the CSS colour (also C)
`Shift`+`Enter`	Copy the rendered pixel

With a guide selected#
