A Comprehensive List of Proclaim Hotkeys

Hotkeys, or keyboard shortcuts, make common tasks faster and easier. Proclaim has a number of these keyboard shortcuts built in, but we’ve never published a comprehensive list of them—until now. Proclaim hotkeys fall into three major categories based on when they’re useful.

(Mac users: use the “command” key in place of the “control” key.)

Always

Standard editing hotkeys work all the time.

• Cut: Ctrl+X
• Copy: Ctrl+C
• Paste: Ctrl+V
• Duplicate: Ctrl+D
• Delete: Delete
• Undo: Ctrl+Z
• Redo: Ctrl+Y

While building a presentation

Every item in the “Add item” menu has a hotkey to save you time. Using these hotkeys, you could build most presentations without even touching your mouse.

• Song: Ctrl+Shift+S
• Bible: Ctrl+Shift+B
• On-Screen Bible: Ctrl + Shift + O
• Video: Ctrl+Shift+V
• Image slideshow: Ctrl+Shift+I
• Content: Ctrl+Shift+C
• Web page: Ctrl+Shift+W
• Survey: Ctrl+Shift+Y
• Survey results: Ctrl+Shift+R
• Import PowerPoint: Ctrl+Shift+P

While running a presentation On Air

In the middle of a presentation, speed is extremely important. That’s why we have a few critical hotkeys designed to help you react fast.

• Go On Air from beginning: F5
• Go On Air from current slide: Shift+F5
• Blank slide: F10
• Logo: F11
• Next slide: Right arrow
• Previous slide: Left arrow
• Jump to first slide in set: Space
• Go off air: Escape

Most helpful of all, while running a presentation with a song selected, use the key listed below each slide to jump quickly between parts of the song—verse 1 (1), chorus (C), bridge (B), etc.

This way, if the worship leader quickly decides to repeat the chorus an extra time or skip a verse, you can keep up.
