Note: the above shortcuts are for Zwift on PC/Mac. Zwift for iOS currently has no known way to bring up the keyboard, so all game interactions are via screen touches and swipes.
I miss a key to return to my rider after watching another. Especially if we are not near to each other.
Click on “Back to me” (in the bottom left corner).
What is the key command for PAUSE during a workout?
Use the Up arrow, then the first option on the list that pops up is the pause button.
Up arrow – brings up the selection menu.
Also the Up Arrow brings up tiles on the bottom of the screen to toggle ERG on/of, make turns etc etc So it basically gives you the options that exist on the touchscreen ios menu
Added!
There’s a zoom view. Nathan G was the first person I saw do it during race coverage. Anyone remember what it is? (It may be 2 keys simultaneously.) The first time he did it, he said, “Whoa. What was that?”
Didn’t there used to be a rotating view (rotate automatically between the other views)? Doesn’t seem to be there anymore.
During a ride, Is there a key to have a “clean” screen thats free from all the data ?
No. But you can hack your prefs file (https://zwiftinsider.com/run-zwift-with-minimal-distractions/) or use the Zwift-Preferences tool (https://zwifthacks.com/zwift-preferences/) to do the setting BEFORE you start Zwift.
“+”,”-” to zoom in and out of the spectator view cursor keys control the camera in the other directions
you are sure this is available for 7: Spectator view ?
+ and – only work if you hit 0 first… as far as I can tell.
Anyone know if these commands work on Apple TV if you are using a Bluetooth keyboard paired with it?
Is there a key that will bring up power up symbols
Wow, the space bar for the power-up is a life-saver. I’ve always gone crazy to hit the power-up icon in the right moment, especially short of breath and with sweaty hands.
once i have done a customized view it somehow moves on after some seconds and rotates around the avator. Is there any freeze function to keep the manual setting uses with + – left, right keys?
Is there a promo code to keep the app open after you finish a ride and/or need to back out of a ride?
I miss the U: Units (toggle between metric/imperial) shortcut.
F10 screenshot doesn’t seem to be working for me atm. I seem to remember some sort of associated glitch from Zwift HQ but wanted to check some time down the line now – is it just me?!
Working fine for me–used it this morning.
Okay, thanks. There is something very weird going on with my install in that case as both F10 and using the menu via the up arrow fail to take a screenshot for me :/
…and while I type this reply a quick check in game gives me the reason for the problem – I have always had “never” selected for image uploading in the menu, this used to let me take screenshots for my own reference to refer back to or to pick from after the event. Seems like this has been changed recently(ish?) to now mean you can’t take any screenshots with this setting i.e. as soon as I select either “only my shots” or “always” in the uploading menu it then lets me take screenies again.
Thanks for the info, it prompted me to fiddle around in the menu and resolve things, it’s no biggie to have my shots uploaded as standard 🙂
I note I am only getting clean screen grabs when I actually want the HUD info displayed – seems like a known issue alongside a few related problems https://forums.zwift.com/t/clean-screenshots/13867
To quote a key bit from the link:
“I’m sorry you’re still experiencing issues with screenshots. The HUD (Heads-Up Display) ​ was removed from screenshots in order to fix the bug we had before with corrupted screenshots​. That’s why you’re not seeing any ride data fields when you take a screenshot.
We do not have a definite timeline on when this will be fixed, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make Zwift better.”
Yeah, the “only clean shots are being taken” thing has been happening for at least a few months now.
I installed freeware “Greenshot” and set it up to Ctrl+L in-game takes a snapshot and saves it to my Zwift pics folder.
If I am in a group ride, I use to see my position in the group (i.e., you are 386 out of 600 riders). That no longer displays. Is there a way to get it back?
Whether your ranking shows or not is up to the event organizer–it’s an option they can enable or disable.
So, it appears that this is not enabled for the Tour de Zwift.
Daft question but is there group ride short cut on the keyboard
No. What would such a shortcut do?
How do I change scale on map in upper right corner?
I am zoomed in so can only see very short distance
My wife next to me on same set up can see a mile ahead. 😕
Click or tap on it, it cycles through three available views.
I pressed ‘T’ for Talk (because I couldn’t remember the keyboard shortcut for Messages (M)) after a BIG effort to jump from one group to another in a flat race, because I wanted to say “Ouch”. It took me to the User Customisation screen, and then out of the race altogether. I am gutted. Could have been one of my best Zwiftings. Lesson learnt. Don’t press ‘T’ mid-race.
