Keyboard shortcuts and quick navigation

Work faster without taking your hands off the keyboard. Here are the global shortcuts and the ones for each module (Notes, Editor, Calendar, Tasks, References and Draw). Wherever you see "Ctrl/Cmd", use the Ctrl key or the Cmd key, depending on your computer's keyboard.

Global and navigation

These work on practically any screen in myrna. The command palette is the fastest way to get anywhere in the app.

Open the command palette: search actions, notes (full-text), tasks, appointments, contacts and references, navigate, and create things right from the search boxCtrl/Cmd+K
Quick switcher: jump straight to a noteCtrl/Cmd+O
Close the open palette, dialog or panelEsc

To switch modules, use the dark module rail on the left edge, or the grid button next to the logo, which also highlights recently used modules.

Single-letter shortcuts (like T or N in the Calendar) only fire while you are not typing in a text field.
