Hotkeys

Here we have listed the hotkeys available in Overleaf. For Mac users, the below commands will use the Cmd key instead of Ctrl.

This list contains shortcuts for the Source editor, still most of them also work in the Source (Legacy) editor.

Command	Operation
Ctrl + F	Find and replace.
Ctrl + Enter or Ctrl + S	Compile the project.
Ctrl + Z	Undo.
Ctrl + Y	Redo.
Ctrl + Home	Go to the first line of the current file.
Ctrl + End	Go to the last line of the current file.
Ctrl + Shift + L	Go to a specific line (opens a dialog). Use Ctrl + L in the Source (Legacy) editor.
Ctrl + /	Toggle commenting for selected lines. (Comment/uncomment selected text.)
Ctrl + D	Delete the current line.
Ctrl + A	Select all.
Tab	Indent the selection.
Shift + Tab	Un-indent the selection.
Ctrl + U	Change the selected text to upper case.
Ctrl + Shift + U	Change the selected text to lower case.
Ctrl + B	Bold.
Ctrl + I	Italics.
Ctrl + Space	Open the autocomplete menu. (Use Opt + Space also on Mac, rather than Cmd + Space)
