Keyboard Shortcuts

QuKi Notes has no app-wide shortcuts of its own, such as for New or Send. The shortcuts below all work in the editor on every platform with a keyboard. On a Mac keyboard, use Cmd where this page says Ctrl.

Editing

Shortcut	Action
Tab	Indent the current or selected lines (see Indenting)
Shift+Tab	Dedent the current or selected lines
Enter	New line. In a list, task list or quote, continues it; on an empty item, ends it.
Backspace	Deletes one character, including inside a list, task or quote marker
Ctrl+Z	Undo
Ctrl+Y (also Ctrl+Shift+Z on Linux; Cmd+Shift+Z on a Mac)	Redo
Ctrl+V	Paste. Copied web content keeps its formatting as markdown (see Pasting from a web page)
Ctrl+Shift+V	Paste as plain text, without formatting
Ctrl+A	Select all

On a touchscreen, the Undo and Redo buttons at the left end of the formatting toolbar do the same as Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.

Because Tab and Shift+Tab indent and dedent, neither moves keyboard focus out of the editor. Use the mouse or touch to reach the top-bar buttons from the editor.

QuKis list and Trash

Shortcut	Action
Tab	Move between rows and buttons
Enter or Space	Open the focused QuKi (in Trash: restore it)
