# Keyboard & Clipboard

The data editor grid supports spreadsheet-style keyboard navigation, range
selection, editing, and clipboard/fill — similar to Google Sheets or Excel.
Click a cell (or press a navigation key) to make it active, then use the
shortcuts below. On macOS use <kbd>Cmd</kbd> wherever <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> is listed.

## Navigation

| Shortcut                                                            | Action                                     |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| <kbd>↑</kbd> <kbd>↓</kbd> <kbd>←</kbd> <kbd>→</kbd>                 | Move the active cell                       |
| <kbd>Tab</kbd> / <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd>                    | Move right / left                          |
| <kbd>Enter</kbd> / <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Enter</kbd>                | Move down / up                             |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>↑</kbd>/<kbd>↓</kbd>/<kbd>←</kbd>/<kbd>→</kbd> | Jump to the edge of the current data block |
| <kbd>Home</kbd> / <kbd>End</kbd>                                    | First / last cell in the row               |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Home</kbd> / <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>End</kbd>    | First / last cell in the grid              |
| <kbd>PageUp</kbd> / <kbd>PageDown</kbd>                             | Move up / down one viewport                |

## Selection

| Shortcut                     | Action                                   |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+arrow       | Extend the selection                     |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> | Select the whole grid                    |
| Click                        | Select a cell                            |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+click       | Extend the selection to the clicked cell |
| Click + drag                 | Select a range                           |

## Editing

| Shortcut                                 | Action                                         |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| <kbd>F2</kbd> or double-click            | Edit the active cell                           |
| Start typing                             | Edit the cell, seeded with the typed character |
| <kbd>Enter</kbd> / <kbd>Tab</kbd>        | Commit and move to the next cell               |
| <kbd>Escape</kbd>                        | Cancel the edit                                |
| <kbd>Delete</kbd> / <kbd>Backspace</kbd> | Clear the selected cells                       |

Read-only cells (for example [calculated](/v0.5.0/api-reference/column-types#calculated)
columns) can't be edited or cleared.

## Clipboard & fill

| Shortcut                     | Action                                                                     |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> | Copy the selection                                                         |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd> | Cut the selection                                                          |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>V</kbd> | Paste at the active cell (or fill the selection with a single copied cell) |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> | Fill the top row of the selection down                                     |

Copy/paste uses tab-separated values, so you can move data between HelloCSV and
spreadsheet apps like Excel or Google Sheets. Multi-select
[enum](/v0.5.0/api-reference/column-types#enum) cells are serialized using the
column's `delimiter`, so copying and pasting them round-trips correctly.

## Undo & Redo

| Shortcut                                      | Action               |
| --------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Z</kbd>                  | Undo the last change |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Z</kbd> | Redo                 |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Y</kbd>                  | Redo                 |

Each user operation is one step, so a mass action — pasting a block of cells,
filling down, clearing a range, or removing rows — is undone (or redone) in a
single press. Back and Forward buttons in the toolbar do the same thing. While
you're editing a cell, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Z</kbd> falls back to the browser's
native text undo inside that cell.

History is kept in memory only and is cleared on reload. Both the shortcuts and
the toolbar buttons are controlled by the `undoRedo`
[available action](/v0.5.0/api-reference/importer-props#availableactions).
