Keyboard shortcuts

Ctrl on Windows and Linux, Cmd on macOS. Editor formatting uses Alt as well, so it never fights the workspace pane shortcuts.

Workspace and panes

ActionShortcut
Open command palette Ctrl/Cmd+K
Create a new note Ctrl/Cmd+N
Edit raw Markdown source Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+S
Editor only, press again to go back Ctrl/Cmd+1
Editor and recent notes Ctrl/Cmd+2
Editor, recent notes and folders Ctrl/Cmd+3
Show the note info panel too Ctrl/Cmd+4
Toggle sidebar chrome Ctrl/Cmd+\
Toggle topbar chrome Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+\
Pure focus mode Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+F
Exit focus mode or close a dialog Escape

The pane shortcuts stack: 1 is the editor alone, 2 adds the notes list, 3 adds the folder sidebar, 4 adds the note info panel. From the editor-only view, any of 2, 3 or 4 brings the panes back, and pressing 1 again returns you to the layout you came from.

Editing and formatting

ActionShortcut or trigger
Bold Ctrl/Cmd+B
Italic Ctrl/Cmd+I
Highlight Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+H
Inline code Ctrl/Cmd+E
Strikethrough or clear formatting Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+X
Link Ctrl/Cmd+K or /link
Paragraph Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+0 or /paragraph
Heading 1, 2, 3 Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+1, 2, 3 or /h1, /h2, /h3

Quote or callout /quote, /callout
Code block Type ``` on a blank line
Table Type | on a blank line
Horizontal rule Type --- on a blank line

Type / in a note for the inline slash menu, or press Ctrl/Cmd+K and then / or > to run the same commands from the command palette. If a shortcut is taken by your browser or operating system, use the toolbar, the bubble menu or the slash menu instead.
