Keyboard Shortcuts for Undo, Redo, and Screenshots

Undo and Redo

Highlight Studio supports full undo/redo for all project changes including trimming, effects, annotations, and style adjustments.

• Cmd+Z — Undo the last change
• Cmd+Shift+Z — Redo

Undo history is preserved throughout your editing session and supports up to 20 steps. Changes are automatically tracked — no need to manually save checkpoints.

Screenshot Capture Shortcuts

Capture screenshots quickly from anywhere using global shortcuts available via the menu bar:

• Ctrl+Shift+S — Instantly capture the frontmost window and open it in the screenshot editor
• Ctrl+Shift+A — Open the screenshot capture sheet to choose a screen, window, region, or import an image
• Cmd+Shift+N — Open screenshot capture from the app menu

These shortcuts work from the menu bar icon, so they are available even when the main editor is in the background.

Screenshot Editor Shortcuts

Once inside the screenshot editor:

• Cmd+E — Export as PNG
• Cmd+Shift+C — Copy to clipboard
• Cmd+I — Toggle settings sidebar
• Cmd+W — Close screenshot editor
