Keyboard reference

Every control on the surface is reachable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring.

The fader bay after Tab Keyboard focus in the bay: a control shows a visible ring before it takes an arrow key.

Controls

Faders and knobs take drag, wheel and arrow keys; hold Shift for coarse steps.
Double-click or Enter resets a control to its default — unity for a fader, centre for pan.
In the EQ curve, arrows nudge the selected band and Enter toggles a filter.

Shortcuts

Key	Action
`←` / `→` (or `[` / `]`)	select the previous / next channel
`M`	mute the selected channel
`S`	solo the selected channel
`F`	flip the bay to sends-on-faders, and back
`,` / `.`	page the bank left / right
`1`–`8`	recall a saved snapshot
`Ctrl`/`⌘` + `S`	save the session
`Ctrl`/`⌘` + `Z`	undo
`Ctrl`/`⌘` + `Shift` + `Z`	redo
`Ctrl` + `Y`	redo (the Windows-style alias)

Shortcuts are suppressed while you are typing in a text field, so renaming a channel M does not mute it.

M and S act on the selected channel. Select with the arrow keys or by tapping a strip.

Quick answers

A screen looks stale. It has probably lost its connection. Reload it and it re-hydrates from the server.

A control is greyed out or absent. The bound device does not offer that feature — the surface honours each adapter's and each console profile's capabilities rather than offering a control that would do nothing.

The surface says Demo (offline). It cannot reach a server. See the web UI cannot reach the server.
