Today, I wanted to share some useful hotkeys that you can use when building workflows in Alteryx Designer.


What is Alteryx Designer?

Alteryx Designer is a sofware that has has over 200+ tools which can be used for:

Data preparation
Geospacial mapping
Predictive analysis

What are hotkeys?

Great examples of hotkeys you may have come across previously are Ctrl+C to Copy, Ctrl+V to Paste and Ctrl+S to Save - those all apply to Alteryx too! Here are some other useful hotkeys that might help:

Action Hot key
Run / stop running the workflow Ctrl + R
Create a new workflow Ctrl + N
Save workflow Ctrl + S
Save all open workflows Ctrl + Shift + S
Add a Browse Tool Ctrl + Shift + B
Select all tools Ctrl + A
Align tools horizontally Ctrl + Shift + -
Align tools vertically Ctrl + Shift + +
Undo Ctrl + Z
Redo Ctrl + Y
Copy Ctrl + C
Paste Ctrl + V

You can find the full list of hotkeys on the Alteryx Help and Documentation site here.
