Intro

Nuke Studio on Windows uses Ctrl as its primary modifier and Alt for secondary actions, the same convention as core Nuke. The Timeline adds its own set of single-key tool cycles (Q, R, T) and drag-based gestures for editorial work.

Windows-specific shortcut notes

Rendering. F5 and F7 render all or selected Comp containers from the Timeline, and all or selected Write nodes from the Node Graph or Properties panel. None of these require a modifier on Windows.

Drag gestures. Alt+drag ripples and duplicates a shot; Alt held down partway through a drag activates Ripple mode instead. Shift+drag on a shot inserts a new track.

Numbered playheads. Pressing a digit key selects or creates a numbered playhead on the Timeline; Ctrl plus a digit on the numeric keypad nudges the selected shot(s) where space allows.

Printable PDF

The Nuke Studio Windows shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. The Timeline editing keys and the node-insertion shortcuts are the sections worth keeping at your desk.
