Boards and Modes

Wayscriber uses named boards plus pages. Each board has its own canvas, pages, and undo history, so you can keep separate workspaces without losing work.

Boards

  • Boards can be transparent overlays or solid-color backgrounds.
  • Use the board picker to switch, rename, recolor, pin, or reorder boards.
  • Quick slots jump to boards 1-9, and you can cycle or create boards from the keyboard.
  • The legacy whiteboard/blackboard toggles still work as shortcuts.

Default board keys

  • Board picker: Ctrl+Shift+B
  • Jump to board slot: Ctrl+Shift+1..9
  • Previous/next board: Ctrl+Shift+Left / Ctrl+Shift+Right
  • New/duplicate/delete board: Ctrl+Shift+N / Ctrl+Shift+D / Ctrl+Shift+Delete
  • Whiteboard / blackboard / transparent: Ctrl+W / Ctrl+B / Ctrl+Shift+T

Board picker shortcuts

  • Navigate: Up/Down, Home/End
  • Switch: Enter or Space
  • Search: type to match a board name or slot number (Backspace edits, Esc clears then closes)
  • Edit: Ctrl+N new, Ctrl+R or F2 rename, Ctrl+C recolor, Ctrl+P pin, Delete removes

Pages

  • Each board has multiple pages for step-by-step walkthroughs.
  • Previous/next page: Ctrl+Alt+Left / Ctrl+Alt+Right
  • New/duplicate/delete page: Ctrl+Alt+N / Ctrl+Alt+D / Ctrl+Alt+Delete

Config notes

  • Prefer the [boards] section for named boards, backgrounds, and defaults.
  • The legacy [board] section still exists for white/blackboard settings and is what the configurator edits today.
