Keyboard Shortcuts\"Keyboard<\/h2>\n

Open Publisher includes a variety of keyboard shortcuts designed to speed up your desktop publishing workflow, available on both Windows\/Linux and Mac. The shortcuts listed here are also accessible via the Keyboard Shortcuts Reference<\/strong> panel within the application. Note: Text formatting shortcuts are guarded so they only activate when you are actively editing inside a text box, preventing interference with canvas-level interactions.<\/em><\/p>\n
