Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut wired into the Pixabots site.
Press ? anywhere to open the in-app shortcuts overlay. The list below is the same information, kept here so it's linkable and indexable.
Global
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| ? | Show the shortcuts overlay |
| ⌘K / Ctrl+K | Open the command palette |
| M | Toggle sound |
| T | Toggle light / dark theme |
The command palette accepts a 4-char pixabot ID as input — type a valid ID and the first action jumps straight to /bot/{id}.
Creator (/)
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Space | Shuffle (respects locked layers) |
| P | Play / Stop the bounce animation |
| C | Copy the share URL |
| D | Open the Download menu |
| F | Toggle the Fx (palette) inspector |
| R | Random palette + background |
| X | Clear palette + background |
| U | Undo last part change |
| Shift+U | Redo |
| ← → | Cycle face / heads |
| ↑ ↓ | Cycle body / top |
Undo/redo cover the last 20 combo changes. Palette (hue / saturation / background) stays sticky — the sliders already give a direct way to reverse their own changes.
Easter egg
Type the Konami code on the creator — ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A — to trigger a rapid 20-shuffle sequence.
Bot pages (/bot/{id}, /browse)
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| ← | Previous pixabot |
| → | Next pixabot |
| Esc | Close the modal (when opened from /browse), or clear active filters on /browse |
Prev / next walks the 10,752 combo space in stable order and wraps at the edges.
Clipboard paste
Paste any pixabots.com URL, ?id=… query, or a bare 4-char ID onto the creator (/) or a bot page to jump straight to that combo. Works from outside the page too — copy 2156 from anywhere, focus the window, paste.
