Yes! You can use the spacebar or press the 2 shift and 2 ctrl buttons together to start/stop the timer, p to delete latest solve, r to reset history, 2 to add +2 penalty, d for DNF, Ctrl/⌘ + Z to undo deleting a solve, and we offer various keyboard shortcuts for quick access to timer functions and settings.
