Keyboard shortcuts

Context menu equivalents

|---|---|
Cmd + O | Open card details |
Cmd + E | Export card as markdown |
Cmd + Delete | Delete card (with confirmation) |
Cmd + Shift + P | Send focused card to Pool (Team edition) |
Customising
Keyboard shortcuts aren't customisable from the UI today. They may become customisable in a future release — track the changelog.
Accessibility note
All actions reachable by keyboard are also reachable by mouse. If a keyboard shortcut is blocked (for example, a system-wide shortcut conflicts with one of Ideafy's), the mouse path still works.
