Keyboard Shortcuts

While these shortcuts aren’t something technicians will typically need, they can be useful if ContentXpress isn’t behaving as expected—like if a presentation doesn’t appear when you think it should, or the system seems stuck.

Shortcut Action
Ctrl + Shift + R Refresh – Force sync with server
Ctrl + Shift + X eXit – Immediately minimize ContentXpress
Ctrl + Shift + Q Quit – Immediately close ContentXpress

Each show laptop syncs with the server automatically about once per minute, so refreshes are rarely needed.
However, if a presenter says they just uploaded their file and you don’t see it yet, try using Refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R) to manually pull in the latest data.

If ContentXpress seems unresponsive, use Quit (Ctrl + Shift + Q) to close the program, then relaunch it—it’s often the quickest fix.
