Keyboard shortcuts

A reference of common FramePilot keyboard shortcuts for playback, editing, timeline navigation, and the AI agent.

FramePilot uses conventional non-linear editor (NLE) shortcuts, so if you have used a pro editor before, most of these will already be in your fingers. The tables below group the common defaults. All shortcuts are configurable in settings — remap anything that fights your muscle memory.

On macOS, use Cmd where the tables show Ctrl.

Playback

Transport controls follow the standard JKL convention editors expect.

Action Shortcut
Play / pause Space
Shuttle backward J
Pause K
Shuttle forward L
Step back 1 frame Left
Step forward 1 frame Right
Go to start Home
Go to end End

Tap J or L repeatedly to shuttle faster.

Trim out point O
Cut Ctrl + X
Copy Ctrl + C
Paste Ctrl + V

Timeline navigation

Move around and shape the timeline itself.

Action Shortcut

Project

Managing the project and history.

Action Shortcut
Save Ctrl + S
Undo Ctrl + Z
Redo Ctrl + Shift + Z

Export Ctrl + E

Undo and redo apply to AI edits too — every applied patch is reversible through the same history.

AI

Reach the agent without leaving the keyboard.

Action Shortcut
Open AI agent panel Ctrl + L
Quick edit on selection Ctrl + K

Quick edit opens the Cmd+K-style prompt for the current selection; see the AI agent for how those edits become reviewable patches.
