Blogpost was published on June 17, 2026
If you spend a lot of time in the Play Digital Signage editor building playlists and designing screens, keyboard shortcuts are one of the best ways to boost your productivity.
Instead of constantly clicking around, you can use simple key combinations to move objects, add elements, copy, paste, undo, and more — saving you hours every week.
