Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts, or hotkeys, provide quick access to the features of Nuke. The following tables
show these keystrokes.

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).
