`Shift` applies to many functions. You can find a list below:

Alignment: when moving a shape, holding Shift disables auto alignment

Highlighter/ Pen: Holding Shift will create a straight line when drawing

Rotation: when rotating an element, holding Shift disables autosnap

Scaling: Hold Shift while scaling keeps the aspect ratio of the shape

Selection: A single pinned element can be selected either by double click or by holding Shift + single click: a single pinned element can be selected

Shapes: Hold Shift and drag creates a shape with a 1:1 aspect ratio

Movement: Hold Shift + arrow keys moves the shape faster when it is selected, except when text options are activated

Text: Shift + Enter will finish the text editing and deselect the text box

Zoom Tool: When the ZOOM tool is selected, holding Shift is changing the zoom to “zoom out”

You can hold Shift and use the trackpad scroll/mouse wheel to pan around the board. If you prefer to pan around the board, you can change the default zoom behaviour for a board. Uncheck the "Scroll to zoom" in the zoom menu. By default you will now pan around the board, and you will have to press [shift] to zoom.

Note: Hover over any icons in your toolbar to get the shortcut of that icon.
