Script Formatting (Film)

Current Entity	Press Tab	Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS)
	Anywhere	On Blank Line	Before Text or in Middle-of-Line	At End-of-Line
Scene Heading	> Action	> Action	¶ Scene Heading	¶ Action
Action	> Character	> Scene Heading	¶ Action	¶ Action
Character	> Action	> Action	¶ Character	¶ Dialogue
Dialogue	> Parenthetical	> Action	¶ Dialogue	¶ Character
Parenthetical	> Dialogue	> Dialogue	¶ Dialogue	¶ Dialogue
Transition	> Action	> Action	¶ Transition	¶ Scene Heading
Shot	> Action	> Action	¶ Shot	¶ Action
Text	> Action	¶ Text	¶ Text	¶ Text
Note: ">" indicates actions that convert the current element to another type, "¶" indicates that the remainder of the current line, if any, will be pushed below the current element, to a new one with the indicated formatting. Also: "Before Text or in Middle-of-Line" and "End-of-Line" commands work when the lines are totally blank and when the cursor is in the last position in the line, respecitvely. This does withstand automatically-typed characters, such as parentheses in parenthetical elements.

Notes

• Note: To insert a parenthetical into a block of dialogue, press Shift+Enter, Shift+Enter, Tab (Windows) or Shift+Return, Shift+Return, Tab (Mac OS).
• Note: By convention, written keyboard shortcuts in Windows use a "+" and in Mac OS use a "-" to denote that keys are depressed at the same time, rather than in sequence. Pressing the "+" or "-" key along with the keyboard shortcut will cause the command not to work.
