CorelDraw Hotkeys

This page lists 167 keyboard shortcuts for CorelDRAW across ten categories: edit, effects, file, help, object, other, text, tools, view, and window. It covers both macOS and Windows, with any platform differences noted inline.

Start with tools, edit, and view. These three categories handle most of what you touch daily: selecting and transforming objects, undoing changes, adjusting zoom, and switching between panels. Object shortcuts become useful once you're regularly working with layers and grouping.

For most shortcuts, Cmd on Mac maps to Ctrl on Windows and the rest stays the same. A few shortcuts exist only on one platform or use a different key entirely, and the page marks those cases clearly.

Tools, edit, view, and object are everyday categories worth memorizing. Effects, window, and help are lower frequency and better treated as a reference you look up when needed rather than something to study up front.
