## In short

- ⌘O scans a folder, ⌘R rescans. ⌘1, ⌘2 and ⌘3 switch between the map, rings and list.
- Arrow keys move the selection, Return or ⌘↓ zooms in, Esc or ⌘↑ zooms out, the Space bar opens Quick Look.
- ⌘⌫ moves the selected item to the Trash (after confirmation), ⌘K adds it to the Collector (Pro), ⌘Z undoes the last move to the Trash.

## In the map, rings and list

These keys work when the map, rings or list has the focus — click an empty spot of the view first if needed.

| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| `←` `→` | Select the previous or next item of the same folder (largest first) |
| `↓` | Go into the selected folder and select its largest item |
| `↑` | Select the parent folder, or zoom out |
| `Return` | Zoom into the selected folder |
| `Esc` | Deselect the item and close the inspector; press again to zoom out |
| `Space` | Open or close Quick Look for the selected file |

## Elsewhere

- On the welcome and home screens, `Return` clicks the blue button (**Get Started**, **Scan My Mac**).
- While a scan runs, `Esc` cancels it and goes back to the home screen.
- In confirmation dialogs and sheets, `Return` confirms the highlighted button and `Esc` cancels — for example in the Collector’s review sheet.
- In the search field, start typing to search every file of the scan; clear the field to go back to the map.
