Shortcuts triple your speed

No dark-mode styles — this email renders the same in a dark client.

Hey friend,

Once you get comfortable with Balsamiq, shortcuts are a game-changer.

Here are the ones our power users live by:

* R then Drag - Draw a rectangle on the canvas
* T+drag - Draw a block of text
* I+drag - Draw an image
* A+drag - Draw an arrow

If you're someone who likes to manually create and tweak, these shortcuts will triple your throughput.

You'll be wireframing as fast as you think.

Another shortcut we love is Alternates.

It’s simple but super helpful: You can create an alternate of a wireframe, which basically creates a copy.

It’s great if you're dealing with different states like an error state or a logged-in vs. non-logged-in user.
