This document describes the default keyboard and mouse shortcuts of Inkscape, corresponding to the share/inkscape/keys/inkscape.xml file in your Inkscape installation. Some of the keyboard shortcuts may not be available for non-US keyboard layouts, but most (not all) of these shortcuts are configurable by the user. You can create custom shortcuts and load custom keyboard shortcut files in the Inkscape Preferences, or by following the instructions in the default.xml file.

Unless noted otherwise, keypad keys (such as arrows , Home , End , + , - , digits ) are supposed to work the same as corresponding regular keys.
