Select nodes to move or resize them on the canvas. You can select a group and move its unlocked nodes together.

Try it hereNothing selected

Click a node to select it, Shift-click to add one, drag to move the selection, drag the corner handle to resize. Ctrl or Cmd with A selects all; arrow keys nudge the selection.

Step 1 of 4: Click a node’s header to select it.
Click empty canvas to clear the selection.

Select nodes

  1. Click a node header, card, or shape to select it. Click empty canvas to clear the selection.
  2. Hold Shift and click nodes to add them to or remove them from the selection. You can also drag on empty canvas to draw a selection box; hold Shift while dragging to add to the current selection.
  3. Press Ctrl + A on Windows or Linux, or Cmd + A on macOS, to select all nodes.

Move and resize

  1. Drag a selected node by its header or frame to move it. When several nodes are selected, drag one of them to move the group.
  2. Select a node and drag its resize handle to change its size.
TipHold Space while dragging to pan the canvas without changing the selection.
LimitA terminal or text editor with keyboard focus keeps its own typing and selection. Locked nodes cannot be resized or moved. In a group move, a locked node stays in place while unlocked nodes move.
