Vyew Keyboard Shortcuts (Hotkeys)

Increase your speed and productivity by using keyboard shortcuts. Where relevant, we have made an effort to make Vyew’s hotkeys consistent with hotkeys from other common applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint and Word.

NOTE: For hotkeys to work properly, Vyew must have ‘focus’: After starting Vyew or switching back to the browser in which Vyew is running, click somewhere inside the Vyew user interface.
