Canvas basics

Focus a node

Magnify one node and quiet the surrounding node chrome while you work.

Updated 1 min read

Focus mode magnifies a supported node while leaving the rest of the canvas available. It hides surrounding node chrome so the selected work is easier to follow.

Terminal node filling the canvas in focus mode
Focus mode enlarges the selected terminal and provides a control to exit.

Enter focus mode

  1. Select a terminal, note, file, or portal node.
  2. Double-click its header, choose Focus on the node bar, or choose Focus selected node from the command palette.
  3. You can also press F when the canvas has focus. The focus chord works even while a terminal is focused: Ctrl + Shift + Enter on Windows or Linux, or Cmd + Shift + Enter on macOS.

Leave focus mode

  1. Choose Exit focus on the node bar or Exit focus mode in the command palette.
  2. You can also use the same focus chord, choose the exit pill, or press Escape if the key reaches the canvas.
LimitFocus magnification stops at 2× and does not resize the node or save a new canvas layout. Drawings and draft terminals cannot be focused.
