Complete Lunacy keyboard shortcuts reference — 138 shortcuts across 10 categories. Quick reference cheat sheet for Windows, macOS & Linux.
Lunacy is Icons8's free design tool, and it copies the Sketch and Figma keymap closely enough that most muscle memory transfers — single-letter tools, Ctrl + G to group, Alt + letter to align. Its own additions are the repeated-key tool variants (press R twice for a rounded rectangle) and shortcuts for the built-in asset libraries. The table is the Windows keymap.

R draws a rectangle and R, R a rounded one; O an oval, then O, O a triangle, O, O, O a polygon and O, O, O, O a star; L a line and L, L an arrow; P the pen and P, P the pencil. F and T are frame and text, V selects and I is the eyedropper. The UI-element tools are letters too — B button, D text input, Y radio button, J toggle, W drop-down — which is how a wireframe gets built without opening a library.
Alt + 1 through Alt + 8 switch the left panel between Layers, Components, Styles, Icons, Photos, Illustrations, UI Kits and Plugins; the icon, photo and illustration libraries are the reason many people use Lunacy at all. X inserts an icon, M an image and Q an avatar placeholder. Shift + F1 shows the shortcut list and F4 shows the code for the selected layer.
Shift + A adds auto layout to a frame and a frame is wrapped around the selection with Ctrl + Alt + G. Ctrl + Alt + K creates a component, Ctrl + Alt + E jumps to its main instance and Ctrl + Alt + D detaches. Boolean operations are Ctrl + Shift + U union, Ctrl + Shift + P subtract, Ctrl + Shift + I intersect and Ctrl + Shift + X difference; Ctrl + Shift + O outlines a stroke. Ctrl + 1 zooms to everything and Ctrl + 2 to the selection, and Enter edits the selected layer in place.
Press R twice. Repeating a tool key cycles its variants: O, O for a triangle, L, L for an arrow.
Alt + 4 opens Icons and Alt + 5 Photos in the left panel; X and M insert an icon or image directly.
Yes. It opens .sketch files natively and imports Figma files, keeping layers and components.
Shift + F1 switches the left panel to the Shortcuts tab.
