Keyboard shortcuts

Learn how to place attributes on the axes and legend and create plots using only the keyboard in Tuva Tools.

The full, current list lives in the tools themselves: click the keyboard icon in the bottom right corner of the interface, or press Cmd+/ (Mac) or Ctrl+/ (Windows). It has a search box, and it is the authority — this page can go out of date, that popup cannot.

Single letters, no modifier — so they work only when focus is not in a text field.

The popup lists more graph types, and four further sections this page does not reproduce: Data Analysis Actions, Navigation, Accessibility & Settings, and Rounding.

The tools have three regions: the case card on the left, the toolbar across the top, and the plotting area in the middle. Tab order runs case card → toolbar → plotting area.

KeyWhat it does
TabMove to the next button, control or field
Shift+TabMove to the previous one
Arrow keysMove within a menu, a text field or a radio group
Enter or SpaceActivate whatever has focus
EscClose an open menu

Tab moves between three regions: the case card, the toolbar and the plotting area. (The interface tour describes five regions in all; the table view and activity panel are reached the same way once they are open.)

By default, tabbing into the case card reaches an Edit … Attribute button for each attribute.

With Attribute Keyboard Support switched on, each attribute carries a caret instead, and opening one gives Edit, Add to X Axis, Add to Y Axis, Color by Attribute and Order by Attribute:

Tabbing on from the case card reaches the toolbar, where the same keys open and move through each menu. Whatever has focus is drawn with a focus ring:
