Keyboard shortcuts and tips

Press “?” in the catalog or use the help icon. You can also open “Keyboard shortcuts and tips” under “Settings” → “Info”. The dialog has “Keyboard shortcuts” and “Tips” tabs.

“Keyboard shortcuts and tips” dialog

Key Action
/ or Ctrl/Cmd+F Focus search
Ctrl/Cmd+A Select all models in the current filtered view, including those outside the viewport
Arrow keys Move between models in the grid or list
Home / End Select the first or last model in the view
Enter Open the selected model’s detail page
Space Check or uncheck the selected model for bulk actions
Delete / Backspace Open the delete confirmation when a bulk selection is active
M Move the selected models to a folder (“Move to …”)
Ctrl/Cmd+Z Undo the last move of models or folders, or the last folder rename
Escape Close a menu or dialog, or clear the selection
? Open “Keyboard shortcuts and tips”

In search, Escape leaves the field without erasing the query. Model shortcuts do not fire while you type in a text field or while focus is on a button, menu or dialog. The model grid and list themselves are not part of that: when focus is on a card or row, the shortcuts keep working. On macOS, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.

Ctrl/Cmd+Z is an exception: it also works after you click a button, but not while you type in a text field (which keeps its own undo) or while a menu or dialog is open. More under Undo.

Screen readers announce model cards and list rows with their name and selection state; the selection bar announces the number of selected models.

Focus a folder in the folder tree, then:

Key Action
Enter or Space Select the folder
F2 Rename the folder (Enter confirms, Escape cancels)
Menu key or Shift+F10 Open the folder’s context menu

See Renaming and deleting folders.

Input fields, text areas and select fields show only the app’s own highlight (a coloured border) as focus, with no additional system frame. This applies uniformly, including the tag input, date and note on the detail page. Checkboxes and radio buttons show a coloured focus ring during keyboard use.

Left and right arrow keys open the previous or next model in the current order. While you are editing an input, these keys do not switch models.

Under “Settings” → “General”, turn off “Single-key shortcuts”. This disables /, ?, M, Space and Delete/Backspace as model shortcuts. Ctrl/Cmd shortcuts and arrow-key navigation remain available. You can still open the tips dialog through the interface.
