Keyboard shortcuts

You can use these keyboard shortcuts while a 360 is open. Some work everywhere, and some work only in the Momento360 app or only in share links and embeds.

Look around and zoom: W , A , S , D , + , = , -

• Press W , A , S  or D  to look up, left, down or right.
• Press +  (or = ) to zoom in, and -  to zoom out.
• Hold a key down to keep moving or zooming, and let go to stop.
• These keys work in the Momento360 app and in share links and embeds.
• In a share link or embed that has wheel=false in its URL, +  / =  / -  don't zoom, but W , A , S  and D  still work.
• wheel=false also turns off scrollwheel zoom; see How do I disable mousewheel zoom on embeds?

For all the ways to zoom, see How do I zoom?

Save the starting view: Shift +V

• Press Shift +V  to save the current view, including the zoom level, as the 360's starting view.
• It's saved right away, and a "Starting view saved" message confirms it.
• Shift +V  works only in the Momento360 app, and only for the 360's owner. For anyone else, pressing it does nothing.
• It doesn't work in share links or embeds.

For details, see How do I adjust the starting view for a 360?

Show or hide a QR code: Q

• In a share link or embed, press Q  to show a QR code of the link, and press Q  again to hide it.
• Q  doesn't do this in the Momento360 app.

For more, see Displaying QR codes on embeds.

Cancel a marker move: Esc

• While you're moving an annotation marker (after clicking "Click to move marker"), press Esc  to cancel the move. The marker goes back to its original position.
• Esc  works only while the annotation edit panel has keyboard focus.
• If Esc  does nothing, click in the edit panel's Title field and press Esc  again, or click "Cancel move".
• You can move markers only in the Momento360 app, so this shortcut works only there.

For more, see Annotations Overview.

When the shortcuts don't work

• W , A , S , D , +  / =  / -  and Shift +V  don't work while you're typing in a text field, such as a comment or caption, or while you hold down Ctrl , Cmd  or Alt  (Option ).
• They also don't work in Cardboard (VR) mode.
• In the Momento360 app, you don't need to click inside the 360 first: while a 360 is open, the keys work anywhere on the page.
• On a website that embeds a 360, click inside the 360 first so the keys go to it.
