We all like shortcuts to make our lives easier. In Bannerwise, we refer to shortcuts to talk about a key or combinations of keys that trigger, in a quick way, specific functions in the ad editor. These combinations of keys are also known as “hot keys” and come in handy if you want, for example, to easily duplicate layers, delete layers or save the last changes you've made.

Below, we’ve gathered useful shortcuts that will help create and editing your ads:
