Keyboard shortcuts

These work while a model is open. They are chords: press the first keys together, release them, then press the last key.

Shortcut Command
Ctrl Alt P then S Open the schematic of the active model
Ctrl Alt P then R Run the model
Ctrl Alt P then Shift R Run the model with options
Ctrl Alt P then A Add a component

The keys are the same on Windows, Linux and macOS. On a Mac keyboard, Alt is the Option key.

These are shortcuts of VS Code. In the JSON file of a model, they act on the components of the model. On macOS, use Cmd where the table says Ctrl.

Shortcut What it does in a model
F2 Rename the component under the cursor, everywhere it is used
F12 Go to the component a name refers to
Shift F12 List where a component is used
Ctrl Space Complete a component name or a type
Ctrl . Open the fixes for the mistake under the cursor
Ctrl Shift O Find a component of the file by name
Key What it does

Open File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts (Code > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts on macOS), search for Pywr, and double-click a command to give it other keys.
