Keyboard Controls

To help audio editors work with speed and precision, Fission can be controlled entirely from the keyboard. This page provides a comprehensive overview of the keyboard shortcuts available in Fission.

Using these keyboard shortcuts, you can control playback, navigate the audio timeline, zoom the waveform view, edit selections and splits, and access different parts of the interface, all without ever leaving the keyboard.
