Keyboard shortcuts

A key that belongs to a feature says so, like "(with Tasks on)": turn the feature on or off in Settings ▸ Features.

Files

  • ⌘O, open a folder · ⇧⌘O, open a single file

  • ⌘N, new note (a plain folder makes a new file; a single-file window makes a blank scratch to Save As) · ⇧⌘N, new folder

  • ⌘P, search, full text in a vault, or jump to a file by name in a plain folder (with Search index on)

  • ⌥⌘P, print the open document

  • ⇧⌘D, open today's note (with Daily note on)

  • ⌃⌘←, previous daily note (with Daily note on)

  • ⌃⌘→, next daily note (with Daily note on)

  • ⇧⌘I, open your inbox (with Inbox on)

  • ⌘S, save (autosave also runs a second after you stop typing)

  • ⌥⌘F, find and replace

  • ⌘E, use the selection for find (then ⌘G walks the matches)

Reviewing changes

These work while a review overlay is open over the note: a suggestion, or a comparison with an earlier version.

Settings and help

  • ⌘, (comma), open Settings

  • ⌘? (⇧⌘/), open this help

Typewriter scrolling has no key: View ▸ Typewriter Scrolling. To change a key, put a keybindings.json in ~/Library/Application Support/Wander, in VS Code's format: a row like {"key": "shift+cmd+9", "command": "task.toggleDone"} adds a key, and a command with a leading minus removes a default. The formatting toolbar can be Docked, Floating, or Hidden, set it in Settings ▸ Formatting toolbar. New windows open in Standard, Focus, or Typewriter mode, pick in Settings ▸ New windows open in.
