Keyboard shortcuts
One binding works on every OS: the modifier shown as ⌘ below is Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux.
App-wide
Section titled “App-wide”| Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| New tab (new page) | ⌘T | Ctrl+T |
| New window | ⌘N | Ctrl+N |
| Close tab | ⌘W | Ctrl+W |
| Next tab | Ctrl+Tab | Ctrl+Tab |
| Previous tab | Ctrl+Shift+Tab | Ctrl+Shift+Tab |
| Find in page | ⌘F | Ctrl+F |
| Search all notes | ⌘⇧F | Ctrl+Shift+F |
| Fit oversized images to view | ⌘⇧I | Ctrl+Shift+I |
| Open settings | ⌘, | Ctrl+, |
| Quit | ⌘Q | Ctrl+Q |
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.
While editing
Section titled “While editing”| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Open the slash command menu | / |
| Move up / down in the menu | ↑ / ↓ |
| Insert the selected item | Enter |
| Close the slash menu | Esc |
| Indent / nest list item | Tab |
| Outdent | Shift+Tab |
| Copy | ⌘C / Ctrl+C |
| Cut | ⌘X / Ctrl+X |
| Paste (image-aware) | ⌘V / Ctrl+V |
| Undo | ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z |
| Redo | ⌘⇧Z / Ctrl+Y |
| Select all | ⌘A / Ctrl+A |
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.
Whiteboard
Section titled “Whiteboard”These work while a board tab is focused. A single letter picks a tool; the editing chords act on the current selection.
| Tool | Key | Tool | Key | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Select | V | Star | S | |
| Pan | H | Hexagon | X | |
| Pen | P | Line | L | |
| Rectangle | R | Arrow | A | |
| Ellipse | O | Text | T | |
| Diamond | D | Image | I | |
| Triangle | G | Rounded rectangle | U |

PDF viewer
Section titled “PDF viewer”These work while a PDF tab is focused.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Next / previous page | PageDown / PageUp |
| First / last page | Home / End |
| Zoom in / out | ⌘= / ⌘− |
| Reset zoom | ⌘0 |
| Find in PDF | ⌘F |
| Next / previous match | ⌘G / ⌘⇧G |
| Go to page… | ⌘⌥G |
| Toggle highlight mode | ⌘⇧H |
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.
