Keyboard Shortcuts by Function

The keyboard shortcuts below are the default Scribus shortcuts valid for both Windows and Linux (unless otherwise stated). OS X users should use the key instead of.

You can modify these shortcuts, or create your own, by going to and locating the "Keyboard Shortcuts" section. (On OS X you need to go to .)

Edit Actions
Some interesting things about the Copy, Cut, and Paste functions is that they do not just apply to text. If you copy an object, like a text frame, image frame, or shape for example, you can then paste these on another page, and it will be placed with the same X-Pos, Y-pos it had in the original location. You can also use graphics inside a body of text, something called inline graphics, if you paste while in Edit Contents mode in the text frame. Weirder still is that you can copy/cut and paste a text frame that might include inline graphics as inline graphics itself!
