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 “It's time”, “To plan”, “Contacts” or “News”.
• Return opens the selected one, just like a double-click.
• In “It's time”, 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 ⌦: cancels an appointment, takes a task out of the week, marks something done as not done, or deletes an event. You won't be asked first: “Undo” is in the bubble that appears next.
• Esc: nothing stays selected.
• When you've placed something and a question asks you to confirm: press Return for yes, Esc for no.
• 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.
