Selection

Pan the view, select a range, or move its content.

Pan the view

Select Hand and drag an empty area. Content stays in place while your view moves. Use the minimap or search to find distant content.

In the terminal, Option/Alt+arrow keys pan ten cells at a time. Your terminal app may intercept these shortcuts; use Hand when they are unavailable.

Select content

In Web Canvas, switch to the selection tool. In the terminal, switch to Edit. Drag to create a rectangular range, including any empty cells within it.

Shift+arrow keys extend the range. Modified mouse clicks depend on whether the terminal forwards them, so Shift+click is not the only way to select.

Both cells of a wide CJK character or emoji belong to the same character. Copying and moving operate on complete characters.

Move, copy, and delete

Drag an existing selection to move its content. Copy and paste at a new position to keep the original; cut removes it from the original position.

Web Canvas normally uses Command+C/X/V on macOS and Ctrl+C/X/V on other platforms. In the terminal, follow the current hints and help panel. Command shortcuts require terminal forwarding; Warp provides Ctrl+Y as a copy fallback.

Press Delete to clear selected content. Undo an accidental deletion or move before continuing. For keys that do not reach the canvas, see Terminal shortcuts do not respond.
