Keyboard Shortcuts

The desktop app’s default keyboard shortcuts. The same list is available in-app via the Keyboard Shortcuts modal (Ctrl+Shift+/) and the built-in Help/Wiki panel (Ctrl+6).

💡

Shortcuts are rebindable: open the Keyboard Shortcuts modal (Ctrl+Shift+/) to change any binding or reset it to the default. Custom bindings are stored locally and conflicting assignments are flagged. Bindings are listed with Ctrl; BioNodulo treats Ctrl and Cmd (Meta) as distinct modifiers, so on macOS use the bindings as shown or rebind them to your preferred Cmd equivalents.
