Keyboard Shortcuts & Efficiency Tips

Every keyboard shortcut in G-Casper Pro: tab jumps, search, editing, and moving around a grid.

5 min readUpdated September 2026

The Reference in the App

Press ? anywhere in a production, when you are not typing in a field, and the Keyboard Shortcuts panel opens. It groups the shortcuts under Navigation, Editing and General. Search for Keyboard Shortcuts opens it too.

Tip: Shortcuts stay quiet while a text field has the cursor, so typing a 3 into a call time never jumps you to the Days tab. If one does nothing, click an empty part of the page first.

Jumping Between Tabs

Hold Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ (Mac) and press a number:

TabWindowsMac
CS FrontCtrl+1⌘+1
CS BackCtrl+2⌘+2
DaysCtrl+3⌘+3
CrewCtrl+4⌘+4
CastCtrl+5⌘+5
BreakdownCtrl+6⌘+6
GlobalsCtrl+7⌘+7

Ctrl+F on Windows, ⌘F on a Mac. It opens G-Casper Pro's search in place of the browser's: text on the page, people and scenes in the show, tabs and menu commands, and help articles. Ctrl+K or ⌘K opens it too. It is not in the ? panel, which covers the production shortcuts only.

Editing

Undo and redo work on every tab of a production. Copy, cut, paste and clear work on the grids (Crew, Cast, Background, Breakdown) when cells are selected.

RedoCtrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z⌘+Shift+Z or ⌘+Y
Copy selected cellsCtrl+C⌘+C
Cut selected cellsCtrl+X⌘+X
PasteCtrl+V⌘+V
Clear selected cellsDelete or BackspaceDelete
Tip: Undo and redo do not care about Caps Lock. On a Cyrillic, Greek or other non-Latin layout, press the keys that sit where Z and Y are on a US keyboard. On a Latin layout such as AZERTY or QWERTZ, press the key that types Z or Y.

Moving Around a Grid

With a cell selected and no editor open, the grid behaves like a spreadsheet:

  • Arrow keys move the selection
  • Tab moves to the next cell, Shift+Tab to the one before
  • Enter or F2 opens the editor on the selected cell
  • Typing starts an edit and replaces what was there
  • Escape lets go of the selection

Habits That Save Time

Not shortcuts, but quick:

  • Right-click a call sheet cell for copy, paste, clear and View History
  • Right-click a day on the Crew DOOD to see who put that person on it
  • Set department call times on the CS Back and override only the exceptions
  • Hover a name on Crew or Cast and click the profile icon for everything about that person on one card
