Google Apps Script editor keyboard shortcuts

I've compiled a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts for the Google Apps Script editor to help you become more productive while using it.

Note

These shortcuts are for the legacy Apps Script code editor. If you see a blue "Use new editor" button, then you are using the legacy code editor and the shortcuts in this article will work.

On the other hand, if you're using the new code editor (screenshot below), the keyboard shortcuts in this article will NOT work.

• Save your script

• Run your script

• View logs

• Toggle comments

• Indent your code

• Select all

• Bring up the auto-complete dialog

• Undo change

• Redo change

• Find and replace
