Keyboard shortcuts:

tab:
- In a Diagram window, select the next node, in the sequence in which nodes were created
- In an Object window, select the next Attribute field
- In a table, select the next cell
shift+tab: Like tab, but in reverse sequence.

Toolbar/menu Shortcuts:

F1: User Guide
F2: : Open Diagram window containing the selected node.
F3: : Open the Outliner window
F4: : Open the Object window for selected node.
F5: : Open the Result window for the selected variable. (same as CTRL+R)
F6: : Edit the definition (script for Button) of selected Variable or Function (same as CTRL+E) in Attribute Panel or Object window, depending on setting in Preferences... dialog.
F7: : Enter browse mode
F8: : Enter Edit mode
F9: : Enter Arrow mode.
F10: Select the main menu bar.
- Use left or right arrow or a letter to select a menu.
- Use up or down arrow or a letter to select an option in that menu.
F11: Toggle between Edit/Arrow editing modes ( ←→ ). In Analytica 3.1, this was F2.
F12, or CTRL+F12: Open/close typescript window

CTRL+A: Select all
CTRL+B: Number Format...
CTRL+C: Copy selected text, cell or region of a table, or nodes.
CTRL+D: Duplicate nodes
CTRL+E: Edit definition
CTRL+F: Open Find dialog to find an object by identifier or title. In a table, Find will search table.
CTRL+G: Find next matching item from Find dialog.
CTRL+H: Find object with identifier matching the text you have selected -- e.g. in a definition.
CTRL+I: Insert a new row or column after the row or column you have selected in an Edit table.
CTRL+J: In a Diagram, align selected node(s) to grid
CTRL+K: Kill (delete) the row or column you have selected in an Edit table.
CTRL+L: Open dialog to Add Module...
CTRL+M: Make an alias from the selected node(s).
CTRL+N: Start a New Model
CTRL+O: Open a model file
CTRL+P: Print the current Diagram, Graph
CTRL+Q: Exit (Quit) the model.
CTRL+R: Show result for selected variable(s)
CTRL+S: Save the model
CTRL+T: Adjust selected node(s) to their default size
CTRL+U: Open Uncertainty Options... dialog
CTRL+V: Paste text, cell or region of a table, or selected nodes.
CTRL+W: Close the model
CTRL+X: Cut selected text or node(s).
CTRL+Y: Toggle between viewing titles and identifiers
CTRL+Z: Undo last action (typing text or moving or resizing node(s)
CTRL+. (CTRL+dot): Stop the computation in progress.
CTRL+Break: Stop the computation in progress.
CTRL+' (CTRL+apostrophe): Open/close Typescript window. On some non-English keyboards, this combination is not available. In those cases, use F12.

These toolbar shortcuts may be used while editing a diagram:

CTRL+1: New Decision node
CTRL+2: New Variable node
CTRL+3: New Chance node
CTRL+4: New Objective node
CTRL+5: New Module node
CTRL+6: New Index node
CTRL+7: New Constant node
CTRL+8: New Function node
CTRL+9: New Text node
CTRL+0: New Button node

When editing definitions or attributes:

ENTER
RETURN
CTRL+RETURN

CTRL+RIGHT: Move right one token
CTRL+LEFT: Move left one token
CTRL+ALT-LEFT: Find left paren that matches the right paren currently at the left of the caret.
CTRL+ALT-RIGHT: Find right parent that matches the left parent currently to the right of the cursor.
SHIFT+(any of the above): Select the characters between.

(More to be listed)

When editing a diagram:

Arrow: Move selected node(s) in direction of the arrow by a grid increment, if snap to grid is set -- otherwise, by one pixel.
SHIFT+arrow: Move selected node(s) in direction of the arrow, by one pixel if snap to grid is set -- otherwise, by one grid increment.
CTRL+left-arrow: Align left edges
CTRL+F9: Align horiz center
SHIFT+F9: Align vert centers of selected nodes
CTRL+right-arrow: Align right edges
CTRL+= : Align left and right edges of selected nodes
CTRL+up-arrow: Align tops of selected nodes
CTRL+down-arrow: Align bottoms of selected nodes

These shortcuts use two keystrokes in sequence -- not pressed together:

=,right-arrow: Make selected nodes the same width as the first selected node
=,down-arrow: Make selected nodes the same height as the first selected node
=,=: Make selected nodes the same width and height as the first selected node
