Jump Between the Editor and the Previewer

When you are working on a long book, the editor and the previewer can drift out of sync. A keyboard shortcut puts them back together so you do not have to scroll through your manuscript hunting for the same paragraph on both sides.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Direction	Windows	Mac
Editor to Previewer	Ctrl+]	Cmd+]
Previewer to Editor	Ctrl+[	Cmd+[

You can change these to other keys you prefer. See keyboard shortcuts for how to customize them.

Editor to Previewer

Click on any element in the editor (a paragraph, a blockquote, an image, a callout box, or anything else you have inserted) and press the shortcut. The previewer scrolls to that exact spot.

Previewer to Editor

Click on a paragraph or element in the previewer and press the shortcut. The editor jumps to that paragraph and gives it a highlight so you can see right where you landed.

Section Headings

Section titles and chapter headings are not editable elements, so you cannot jump directly to one of those from the previewer. Click on the first paragraph of the section instead and Lacuna will land you at the top of that chapter in the editor.

EPUB and Print

Sync works both ways in the e-reader device previewers and in print preview. In the e-reader device previewers you will also see a small flash behind the paragraph or element when the preview lands on it, which makes it easier to see where you are. The print previewer does not flash.
