Storyboard Tab Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts available when working in the Storyboard tab are listed in the following table. Some keystroke combinations only work when the cursor is located in a certain section; the Focus column in the table specifies the section of the tab when that is the case. For more information on the tab, see Working with the Storyboard Tab.
