Why Keyboard Shortcuts Matter

When you need a revised call sheet out fast, keyboard shortcuts let you work without hunting for buttons. Learn the ones you use most and you'll move noticeably faster.

Tip: Press '?' anywhere in G-Casper Pro (when not typing in a field) to open the full shortcut reference panel.

Jump between the main tabs of any production with Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ (Mac) plus a number key:

ActionWindowsMac
Go to CS FrontCtrl+1+1
Go to CS BackCtrl+2+2
Go to DaysCtrl+3+3
Go to CrewCtrl+4+4
Go to CastCtrl+5+5
Go to BreakdownCtrl+6+6
Go to GlobalsCtrl+7+7

Editing Shortcuts

These shortcuts work when cells or rows are selected in the crew grid or scene schedule:

ActionWindowsMac
UndoCtrl+Z+Z
RedoCtrl+Shift+Z+Shift+Z
Copy selected cellsCtrl+C+C
Cut selected cellsCtrl+X+X
PasteCtrl+V+V
Clear selected cellsDeleteDelete

Pro Tips for Faster Work

Beyond shortcuts, these habits will speed up your workflow:

  • Right-click any row or cell for a context menu with common actions
  • Double-click a cell to edit it immediately
  • Set department-level call times to avoid entering individual calls one by one
  • Use the floating controls bar at the bottom of CS Front and CS Back to access layout, density, and print settings without leaving the tab
Tip: Shortcuts activate only when you are not typing in a text field. If a shortcut seems unresponsive, click an empty area of the page first to move focus off any active input.
