Keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut in knowdust — the same list the in-app help sheet shows.

A writing tool should be usable without leaving the keyboard. knowdust's shortcut list is short enough to actually learn:

This table is the same list you get by pressing ? in the workspace — both come from one source, so they can't drift apart.

Notes on a few of them

• Ctrl/Cmd + S — saving is automatic, so this is for marking a moment on purpose: right before a rewrite, or when you want a version kept now. See version history.
• Ctrl/Cmd + K — opens the editor's command palette while you're writing: search within the note, go to a line, and other editor commands, all typeable.
• ? — opens the help sheet, with this shortcut list and a compact markdown reference. It only triggers when you're not typing in the editor or a text field — a question mark in your prose is just a question mark.
• Esc — the universal "put it back": closes the help sheet, leaves a version preview, closes the history rail.

Everything else — bold, headings, lists — is markdown you type, not a chord you memorize: markdown basics.
