Keyboard
On macOS, Cmd works everywhere Ctrl is listed.
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
Ctrl+K | Command palette — pages, headings and actions |
Ctrl+Shift+P | The same palette |
Ctrl+F | Find in the open page |
Ctrl+G | Graph view |
Ctrl+E | Split editor on the open page |
Ctrl+S | Save, while editing |
Ctrl+B | Navigation rail |
Ctrl+Shift+B | Outline and backlinks panel |
Ctrl+W | Close the open tab |
Alt+Left | Back |
Alt+Right | Forward |
Esc | Close the palette, or the find bar |
Shift+F10, Menu | The context menu for whatever is selected |
Find in page
Ctrl+F opens a bar under the link ledger. Enter and Shift+Enter step forward and
back, Aa distinguishes case, and Esc closes it and clears the highlight.
It searches the page as rendered rather than the markdown behind it, so it finds a
wikilink by the label you can see rather than by the target you cannot. With the split
editor focused, Ctrl+F opens the editor's own search instead, so the shortcut never
means two things at once.
The palette matches pages by path and display name, headings in the open page, and a short list of actions. It is deliberately short: a palette that lists every command in the app is a menu with worse discoverability.
