Keyboard shortcuts

One binding works on every OS: the modifier shown as below is Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux.

Find in page searches the current page’s rendered text; Search all notes opens the note-wide search (see Search). PDF tabs keep their own find — ⌘F inside a PDF searches that document.

The tab-switch chords are Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab on every platform (including macOS), matching the convention most apps use for cycling tabs.

Click into a note to edit its raw Markdown; click away (or press Esc out of the slash menu and click out) to re-render. ⌘V / Ctrl+V pastes an image from the clipboard if there is one, and otherwise pastes text as usual.

A journal day in edit mode — raw Markdown on click, rendered on click-away

These work while a board tab is focused. A single letter picks a tool; the editing chords act on the current selection.

Hold Option / Alt while dragging to snap to the grid, and Shift while rotating to snap to 45°.

These work while a PDF tab is focused.

A PDF’s own find (⌘F) is separate from the note-wide search — see Search.

A few things are mouse-driven rather than keyboard-bound:

  • Drag a tab to reorder it, drop it on another window to move it there, or release it on empty space to tear it off into a new window.
  • Drag a corner handle on an inline image to resize it.
  • Drag to highlight a passage in the PDF viewer.
  • The ⚙ Settings button and a quick light/dark toggle live in the title bar.

Import from Logseq lives in the File menu and has no keyboard shortcut.
