Standard Builder: Now with Keyboard Navigation & Shortcuts!

We have introduced keyboard shortcuts to the standard workflow builder, enabling you to build, edit, and navigate workflows more quickly using just the keyboard. These shortcuts cover node movement, selection, copying and pasting, deleting actions, zoom controls, panel access, and saving.

<p>Within the standard builder, shortcuts are organised into five categories: **Essential**, **Edit**, **View**, **Navigation**, and **Tools**. Depending on the action, shortcuts may affect the selected node, all actions from the selected node onwards, or the current builder view.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Open a workflow in the standard builder.</li>
  <li>Select a node when needed, then use the corresponding shortcut.</li>
  <li>Save your workflow and continue building without having to revert to mouse clicks.</li>
</ul>

<p>Building workflows often involves repeating the same actions. These shortcuts reduce repetitive clicks, speed up edits, and simplify the process of managing larger workflows.</p>
