To make form editing faster in PlatoForms, use keyboard shortcuts and quick actions.

  • Keyboard shortcuts: built-in shortcuts like “Copy”, “Paste”, “Undo”, “Redo”, and “Select All” to streamline your workflow.

  • Quick actions: special shortcuts to help you move and align widgets easily, similar to those in drag-and-drop editors. For example, holding the Shift key while dragging keeps items aligned.
