Rundown App Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts available when working in the Rundown app are listed in the following table. Some keystroke combinations only work when the cursor is located in a certain section of the app; the Focus column in the table specifies the section of the app when that is the case. For more information on the app and its sections, see The Rundown App.
