Task guide

Navigate with keyboard and reduced motion

Focus nodes, open levels and use editing shortcuts without relying on animation.

Before you start

Prerequisites
A keyboard and the demo or an editable diagram.
Permissions and plan
Viewing and local drafting require no account.

Steps

  1. Use Tab to focus a node or flow, then Enter or Space to select it.

  2. Use the focused container's open control to enter its level; use Back to return.

  3. Press / to search shapes, C for Connect, and Escape to cancel the current mode.

  4. Use Delete or Backspace only when you intend to remove the selected item. Undo restores a recent local edit.

  5. Enable reduced motion in your browser or operating system. Read flow labels and direction rather than relying on animated signals.

Check your work
