Add custom Webflow shortcuts and speed up development.

Using shortcuts is one of the easiest ways to build faster in Webflow. While Webflow offers some built-in shortcuts, many commonly used UI elements like Div Blocks, Sections, and Buttons don’t have quick-access options available by default.

That’s where our Webflow Chrome Extension comes in — a lightweight tool that lets you create custom shortcuts for almost anything inside the Webflow Designer.

🎯 Why Use Custom Shortcuts?

  • Save time by instantly inserting elements like Sections, Containers, and Buttons
  • Streamline repetitive tasks in your workflow
  • Build layouts with fewer clicks
  • Customize to match your personal style of working

🚀 Current Supported Shortcuts

You can assign custom shortcut keys to trigger these actions instantly:

  • ➕ Add Section
  • 📦 Add Div Block
  • 📐 Add Container
  • 🔠 Add Heading
  • 📝 Add Paragraph
  • 🔘 Add Button
  • 🖼 Add Image
  • 🚀 Publish Website
  • 🧩 Open Extension

✨ Assign your own key combinations to any of these — no more digging through the Webflow sidebar.

💡 Coming Soon: More Shortcuts

We’re actively expanding shortcut support based on user feedback.
