Keyboard shortcut for switching to the move tool

User_0815 · May 5, 2026 at 3:55 PM

The standard keyboard shortcut for the move tool is V. But when doing Text stuff, it will just type a v. Sometimes this gets me again and again and I can't seem to adapt to that. Has anyone changed the shorcut or is there a different way to switch tools?

With a text field active, hit ESC to remove focus from the text. Then, hitting V will make the Move tool active.

Double-click on an empty spot on the canvas or else do so off-canvas to switch from Text Tool to Move Tool.

Press ESC twice and then the V key.
