Anyone who’s used a computer to create something will understand the importance of keyboard shortcuts. Finding the one that works for you can be a game-changer when it comes to speed, accuracy, and productivity. Air has a range of features that are optimized for keyboard navigation.

From asset preview

From the asset preview, quickly scroll through your assets without lifting your hands off the keyboard, which can save you precious time. When inside an asset’s preview page, you’ll notice a keyboard icon in the right bottom corner. This gives you a reference to all the shortcuts you need when working with your assets.
