Keyboard shortcuts

Mac users see Cmd; Windows users substitute Ctrl. The in-app dialog opened with Cmd / Ctrl + K lists the same shortcuts.

Phone doesn’t surface a hotkeys reference — there’s no in-app dialog for phone, since phone usage doesn’t typically involve keyboard shortcuts. Tablet users with a hardware keyboard can use every shortcut listed here.

Notes

Some shortcuts are context-sensitive — Shift + S and Cmd + N do different things depending on the active view. The lists above note both behaviours.
The in-app dialog (Cmd / Ctrl + K) lists every shortcut and is updated each release.
