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).
