Keyboard Shortcuts

This page lists the keyboard shortcuts available in CyberViewer. Shortcuts that require an image only work after an image has been loaded.


Global Window Shortcut

The global shortcut works even when another application has focus:

Shortcut Action Default
Alt+Shift+V Show or hide the CyberViewer window. Enabled

To change it, open Settings > System, click Toggle hotkey, and press the desired combination. The new value is saved automatically. Use Backspace or Delete while capturing to clear the binding, or Escape to cancel capture.


Opening and Window Actions

Shortcut Action
Ctrl+O Open an image.
Ctrl+Shift+F Open a folder.
Ctrl+Shift+O Show the current image in its containing folder.
Ctrl+S Open Save As for the current image.
Ctrl+P Open the Print / Export PDF panel.
Ctrl+I Open image properties.
Ctrl+, Open Settings.
Ctrl+F Toggle fullscreen.
Enter / G Toggle fullscreen.

Navigation

Shortcut Action
Right Arrow / Down Arrow / D Show the next image.
Left Arrow / Up Arrow / A Show the previous image.
Space Show the next image during normal viewing. In a slideshow, pause or resume playback.
F Fit the image to the window.
0 Fit the image to the window.
1 Show the image at its calibrated 1:1 view.
+ / = Zoom in.
- Zoom out.

The navigation zoom preference in Settings controls whether changing images resets the selected view or keeps the current zoom.


Viewer Gestures

These are not keyboard shortcuts, but they are part of the main navigation controls:

Gesture Action
Mouse wheel Zoom around the pointer position.
Drag with the primary mouse button Pan a zoomed image.
Two-finger pinch Zoom on a touch device.
Double-click Run the configured double-click action.

Editing

Shortcut Action
Q Rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise as a pending preview.
E Rotate 90 degrees clockwise as a pending preview.
C Open the crop tool.
R Open the resize tool.
J Open the color adjustment tool.
H Flip horizontally and create a copy.
Shift+H Flip vertically and create a copy.

When a rotation preview is pending, Enter saves it and Escape discards it. While crop, resize, or adjustment mode is active, Enter confirms the operation when the focused control allows it, and Escape cancels it.


Clipboard and Favorites

Shortcut Action
Ctrl+C Copy the current image to the clipboard as PNG data.
Ctrl+V Load an image from the clipboard.
Ctrl+D Add or remove the current image from Favorites.
Delete Move the current disk-backed image to the Windows Recycle Bin after confirmation.

Slideshow

Shortcut Action
S Start the slideshow, or pause and resume it when active.
Space Pause or resume playback while the slideshow is active.
Right Arrow / Down Arrow / D Advance to the next visible image.
Left Arrow / Up Arrow / A Go to the previous visible image.
Enter / G Toggle fullscreen while presenting.
Escape Stop the slideshow.

See Slideshow for intervals, loop behavior, and presentation controls.


Context-Sensitive Escape

Escape closes or cancels the highest-priority active surface:

  1. Close the shortcut guide or main menu.
  2. Cancel crop mode.
  3. Discard a pending rotation.
  4. Stop an active slideshow.
  5. Leave fullscreen or close an open modal.

Editing the Global Shortcut

The global shortcut field is in Settings > System. Click it to capture a new key combination. CyberViewer saves the value as soon as capture finishes. If Windows or another application already owns the accelerator, the registration may fail and the shortcut will not toggle the window until a usable combination is selected.
