Orqa Note

Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut actually wired up in the app.

Only shortcuts that are real in the current build are listed here. We'd rather under-promise than send you chasing keys that don't exist.

Workspace

ShortcutAction
⌘OOpen folder (switch workspace)
⌘NNew window
⌘BToggle sidebar
⌘KToggle file & bookmark search

Tabs

ShortcutAction
⌘TToggle terminal panel
⌘WClose current tab
⌘⇧TReopen last closed tab
⌘1⌘9Switch to tab N
⌘⇧]Next tab
⌘⇧[Previous tab
⌘⇧CCopy current tab's file path or bookmark URL

Markdown editor

ShortcutAction
⌘⇧1 (or ⌘⌥1)Heading 1
⌘⇧2 (or ⌘⌥2)Heading 2
⌘⇧7 (or ⌘⌥8)Bullet list
⌘⇧8 (or ⌘⌥7)Ordered list
⌘⇧9 (or ⌘⇧B)Blockquote
⌘⇧C (or ⌘⌥C)Code block
⌘Z / ⌘⇧ZUndo / redo
⌘FFind in document
⌘HFind & replace
/ (empty line)Slash command menu

Inline markdown syntax — **bold**, *italic*, [link](url), etc. — works the way you'd expect; just type it.

Save

You don't save manually. Orqa Note auto-saves on every change after a short debounce. The toolbar shows "Auto-saved ✓" once your latest edit is on disk.

What's not (yet) wired

These shortcuts are common in other editors but not currently mapped in Orqa Note. We'll add them as the app matures:

  • ⌘, — preferences
  • ⌘I, ⌘B (in editor) — italic / bold via key (use Markdown syntax instead)
  • ⌘R, ⌘L (in webview tabs) — reload / focus address
  • ⌘⇧N, ⌘⇧D (in sidebar) — new file / new folder via key
  • ⌘S — explicit save (auto-save handles this)

If a shortcut you'd expect is missing, file an issue on GitHub.
