These keyboard shortcuts will speed up your use of Squarespace. You will feel like a boss using them, and your clients will think you are the guru.
In the video, I have used the terms "Command" and "Apple" Keys. They refer to the same key.
Key equivilents Mac and Windows
| Key | Apple | Windows |
 | Shift | Shift |
 | N/A | Control |
 | Apple / Command | N/A |
 | Up Arrow | Up Arrow |
 | Down Arrow | Down Arrow |
I'm using a Mac, but Windows keys will be shown below, as well. As a Squarespace design team, we find these tips really handy.
1.) Text Alignment
In edit mode, instead of using your mouse for everything, you can use keyboard shortcuts.
| Align | Mac | Windows |
| Align Left |
 |
|
| Align Right |
 |
|
| Align Center |
 |
|
2. Show the grid
Hitting the g key shows and hides the grid. This is a handy feature that allows you to see the alignment of your blocks.
3. Duplicate, copy and paste blocks
You can duplicate blocks, which is useful, and also copy and paste, which performs similar functions to duplication. To use, select the block so there is a blue border. Our Squarespace coffee template was something we used this on.
| Align | Mac | Windows |
| Duplicate |
 |
|
| Copy |
 |
|
| Paste |
 |
|
4. Send Blocks forwards and backwards
When you have overlapping block's it's quite common to want to send them back and forward in the Z-Index stacking. Using these shortcuts makes it easier, especially when you have many tasks to do.
| Front / Back | Mac | Windows |
| Send to the front |
|
|
| Send to the back |
|

5. Pressing Escape key on live site redirects
A handy addition is the ability to redirect and log in to the Squarespace admin area whilst on your live site. You need to explicitly set this up to work, though. Navigate to "Settings", then "Escape Key."
6. Quick access admin settings option
I've saved the feature that will save you a lot of time for last. Just hit 
, and this will make a search box appear in which you just type to search. Our most used section is definitely "Custom CSS", and this shortcut saves four clicks. It will save a lot of time if you spend all day in the Squarespace admin.
