Note: the above shortcuts are for Zwift on PC/Mac. Zwift for iOS/AppleTV/Android has no way to bring up the keyboard, so all game interactions are via screen touches and swipes via the menu which is shown (see below) when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
hi, using apple tv linked via hdmi to a tv, on 1 week trial, 1st 2 rides game has what looks like paused although no indication on screen to say so, cannot un pause,
any ideas,
thanks, Wayne,
Hi,
Also using ATV and was thinking of getting a bluetooth Apple keyboard to use with the Zwift running on an Apple TV. This would replace the remote. However, from your post, it looks like the Apple keyboard will not work with the shortcuts through the ATV?
Thanks,
Ian
how can you ride with a keyboard?
With a table/desk in front of your bike.
what’s the Keyboard shortcut to “menu”?
There isn’t one.
What about iPad pro with detachable keyboard? None of the above seem to work 🙁
How do I select a new route/world without exiting the game? Shouldn’t there be a shortcut for this?
There should be, but there isn’t! Gotta restart the game.
It really sounds like the game is still in alpha. A function like this might be missing in alpha, but it’s definately there in a beta version. Hope they get to it soon!
My P shortcut does not work on my andriod phone with a connected keybord. Do i need to use a laptop.
Yep!
Can’t unpause ride in either my iPad or android device. Please assist.
I discovered today by mistake that :
Sorry, in fact my “P” and “M” are in fact “+” and “-” when “num lock” is engaged… And this is described here : https://support.zwift.com/en_us/workout-mode-S1WDxDuNB : “Increase/Decrease Resistance”
I use an Apple TV device. How do you access the keyboard, please? thanks!
I believe these are for a computer or laptop.
Thanks so much for this little tip. Phone went comatose a few days ago and had to be sent off for repairs so I don’t have the companion app that is on it. Haven’t been able to take any pics to go with my workouts on Zwift. I will now though.
Hello Eric. I was wondering. Im going to broadcast a Zwift race, Ill be controlling the cameras. I can select freeley the runner I want to show on screen?
Yep.
any way to block “ride on” messages and thumbs up? I’m tired of getting them when i’m in a cool down or recovery session. I’ve changed privacy settings in the app, but i still see them on my windows laptop, which is how i view the screen when riding.
I want to send ride in’s to the apartarse near me at the same time
I don’t know what the keyboard shortcut is but on the companion app if you tap the little orange arrow (yourself) you will give all the riders around you a thumbs up.
I WISH there was a keyboard shortcut for this!
But yeah I’d love to also know how it’s done on a keyboard which would be easier….
Is there any way to re-assign these so they aren’t on the FN keys? as a Mac user getting a ‘custom’ screenshot mid ride is impossible as clicking F10 on its own mutes the laptop! 🙁
No short cut to give ride ons? as Opposed to just saying “ride on”
I feel like I should give more ride ons while riding, but I can’t work out how to do it without selecting another rider in the list, hitting the ride on icon, then returning to me, by which time I’ve probably lost 10m on the people I was riding with.
@Eric Schlange The new “Hide” shortcut “H” is missing 🙂
Given that the Zwift rules for high-level events require that trainer difficulty be set to “at least 50%”, is it “wrong” or considered cheating to race in other events below 50%? From what I’ve read, many rider use 0-20%. So why does Zwift enforce “at least 50%”? From Cycling Esports, Rules and Regulations, Version 1.0.6 – 2021/03/18 2.5.3. Smart trainer difficulty must be set to at least 50%. Interestingly, with regard to gearing… I’ve recently upgraded to a Tacx Neo Smart Bike, on which it’s possible to set gearing, including triple chainrings and 12 speed cassette. This means that I… Read more »
Delete. Wrong thread. @rse.
Zwift needs to add the keyboard shortcuts tot the mobile app. Although there is no way to bring up the android keyboard. A Bluetooth keyboard can be attached. This will make thing easier for phone/tablet users.
Is there a place to make enhancement requests to the zwift development team?
