Keyboard shortcuts
Every key the app responds to, from Search everything to Quick Deck pads and global hotkeys
Every shortcut inside Vfinity, and the global hotkeys that work while another window has focus. On a Mac, Cmd takes the place of Ctrl.
Anywhere in the app
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+K/Cmd+K | Open Search everything |
| Menu/Shift+F10 | Open the right-click menu for the focused control |
| Esc | Close a dialog, a popover or a menu |
| Tab/Shift+Tab | Move between controls; inside a dialog, focus stays in the dialog |
| Alt+F4 | Close the window, like the X; while a live platform or VTube Studio is connected, Vfinity can ask first |

With the mouse, right-click empty canvas to add a node there, drag across empty canvas to select several nodes, and drag with the right or middle button to pan. Hold Alt while clicking a pin to break its wires, and double-click a data wire to add a reroute dot.
Recording a key combination
Click a key field, such as a global hotkey's or a Press keys step's, then press the keys.
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Esc | Stop recording without changing it |
| Backspace/Delete | Clear the combination, where the field allows it |
Global hotkeys
Global hotkeys work while your game, OBS or VTube Studio has focus, and while Vfinity waits in the tray. Add them in SettingsAutomation & rulesGlobal hotkeys, up to 32.
| Button | Command | Suggested keys |
|---|---|---|
| Add panic hotkey | control.panic | Ctrl+Shift+F9, else Ctrl+Alt+F9 or Ctrl+Shift+F7 |
| Add pause toggle | control.togglePause | Ctrl+Shift+F10, else Ctrl+Alt+F10 or Ctrl+Shift+F8 |
Vfinity suggests the first combination you haven't used yet. Both start switched off until you switch them on. Add a hotkey binds any other command from Commands. Each row says whether the combination is really held, or already taken by another program.
