Work with keyboard shortcuts

Desktop Lotti exposes a searchable catalog of app-wide and contextual commands. Open Settings → Keyboard shortcuts to see each command with the binding resolved for your platform.

Open shortcut help quickly

Press F1 or Primary + ? to open the shortcut reference without leaving your current work. Primary means Command on macOS and Control on Windows or Linux.

Frequently useful app-wide commands include:

ActionShortcut
Open the command palettePrimary + K
Create a text entryPrimary + N
Create a taskPrimary + T
Open Tasks, Daily OS, Projects, or HabitsPrimary + 1 / 2 / 3 / 4
Open Dashboards, Journal, Events, or SettingsPrimary + 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Individual pages add contextual commands such as save, refresh, search, or create. Their availability can depend on what is currently focused or whether there are unsaved changes.

Run a command without leaving your work

Press Primary + K to open the command palette over the current page. It combines app-wide actions—creating entries, opening tasks, navigating, and zooming—with commands supplied by the active page.

Only commands that are available in the current context appear. The Mobile view demonstrates the same desktop palette in a narrow window; keyboard commands are a desktop feature.

Start typing to narrow the list by action name, group, or key combination. Use the up and down arrows to move the highlight, Enter to run it, and Escape to close the palette. Because the palette is contextual, a command such as Save only appears when the focused editor can currently save.

Search by action or key

Search the catalog instead of memorizing it. Results update as you type.

Use the search field when you know either the action or part of its key combination. The in-app catalog is the authority if a binding changes in a later version of Lotti.
