Keyboard shortcuts

On a Mac, add things, change view, move through your things and undo, all without leaving the keyboard.

On a Mac, you can also do everything from the keyboard. On an iPad with a keyboard, the arrow keys, Return and Space move through lists in the same way.

Anywhere in the app

  • ⌘N: “New Thing to Plan…”
  • ⇧⌘N: “New Event…”
  • ⌘1 to ⌘4: the calendar in Day, Week, Month or Year view
  • ⌘← and ⌘→: the previous or next period; ⌘T: “Today”
  • ⌘Z and ⇧⌘Z: undo and redo the last change
  • ⌘,: “Settings…”
  • ⌘?: this guide

In lists

  • ↓ and ↑ move from one thing to the next in “To fit in”, “To plan”, “Contacts” or “News”.
  • Return opens the selected one, just like a double-click.
  • In “To fit in”, Space adds or removes “I'm on it”.

On the calendar

  • Click once to select an appointment, a thing or an event; double-click to open it.
  • ⌫ or ⌦: an appointment is cancelled, an event is deleted, a task leaves the week. No questions asked: “Undo” is in the bubble that appears next.
  • Esc: nothing stays selected.
  • Double-click a free hour, or drag the mouse across a time slot: “New event”.
  • Right-click to open the menu for a thing or an appointment, just like a long press on iPhone.

You can also do everything by dragging: see Drag and drop on the calendar.
