Keyboard shortcuts

Speed up navigation and editing with keyboard shortcuts.

Shortcuts reduce context switching: keep hands on the keyboard for formatting, navigation, and comments. The tables below cover common defaults; your organization may publish a one-page cheat sheet for onboarding.

General

Action	Shortcut
Command palette	⌘K / Ctrl+K
Search	⌘P / Ctrl+P

On Windows and Linux, Ctrl replaces ⌘ where both are listed. If a shortcut conflicts with your browser or OS, disable the conflicting extension or remap inside the product when supported.

Editor

Action	Shortcut
Bold	⌘B / Ctrl+B
Comment	⌘⌥M / Ctrl+Alt+M

Selection and blocks

Many editors support ⌘D / Ctrl+D for multi-cursor or duplicate-line behaviors—check in-app hints because they can vary by block type (paragraph vs code).

Accessibility

If reduced-motion or sticky keys are enabled at the OS level, chord shortcuts may require slower presses. Screen reader users should verify focus lands in the expected region after palette commands.

Customize

Some shortcuts can be remapped in Settings → Accessibility on supported clients. Export your mapping before switching machines so you can import or recreate it on a new laptop.

Conflicts with input methods

IME users composing CJK text may need to disable certain chords temporarily or use the command palette instead of direct shortcuts that steal modifier keys.
