Keyboard Shortcuts

⌘ is Command on macOS. On Windows and Linux, press Ctrl instead. ⌥ is Option on macOS and Alt elsewhere. ⇧ is Shift.

Global

Work anywhere in the app.

ShortcutAction
⌘ KOpen or close search
⌘ /Open or close the shortcuts panel
⌘ ⇧ HGo to your Nexus list
⌘ ⇧ ⌫Open Trash
⌘ \Collapse or expand the sidebar

Search and Publish keep working while you are typing in a field. The rest stand down inside text inputs so they do not fight with typing.

While a dialog is open, the page shortcuts behind it stand down — only the two that open and close a dialog of their own, ⌘ K and ⌘ /, still fire, so you can always close what you opened. Escape closes a dialog too.

The clipboard chords are never ours. ⌘ C, ⌘ V, ⌘ X, ⌘ A and ⌘ Z are not bound to anything in this app, and with text selected nothing here will intercept them.
