How do shortcut overlays work in Pane Studio?

Capture the keys during recording, then make the overlays easier to read in the editor.

During recording

Capture keyboard shortcuts automatically instead of adding them by hand

Pane Studio can capture shortcut overlays during recording so the final tutorial or product walkthrough can show keyboard-driven actions more clearly. That makes it easier to explain workflows where viewers need to see the exact keys being pressed.

Inside the editor

Adjust shortcut labels and include single-key actions when needed

After recording, you can control shortcut label size and decide whether single-key shortcuts should be shown alongside larger combinations. That gives teams a cleaner way to record shortcut-based tutorials without manually recreating callouts in another editor.
