Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts, or hotkeys, provide quick access to the features of Nuke. The following tables show these keystrokes.
Note: To download a PDF version of this page, please click here.
Conventions
The following conventions apply to instructions for mouse-clicks and key presses.
• LMB means click or press the left mouse button.
• MMB means click or press the middle mouse button
• RMB means click or press the right mouse button.
• When you see the word “drag” after a mouse button abbreviation (i.e., “MMB drag”), this tells you to press and hold the mouse button while dragging the mouse pointer.
• Keystroke combinations with the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys tell you to press and hold the key and then type the specified letter.
For example, “Press Ctrl+S” means hold down the Ctrl key, press S, and then release both keys.
Note: On Mac, replace the Ctrl key with the Cmd key.
Note: Keystrokes in the tables appear in upper case, but you do not type them as upper case. If the Shift+modifier does not appear before the letter, just press the letter key alone.
Note: This section assumes you are using the default keyboard and mouse-button assignments. If the mouse buttons do not work for you as described here, try resetting the mouse control type back to the standard Nuke setting (Preferences > Panels > Viewer Handles > 3D control type > Nuke).
