Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigate Inkwren quickly using the Command Palette.

Command Palette

The Command Palette is your one-stop shortcut for navigation, search, and quick actions.

ActionMacWindows/Linux
Open Command PaletteCmd+KCtrl+/

From the Command Palette you can:

  • Search for stories, publications, authors, or series by name
  • Jump to any matching item from your search results
  • Run quick actions — New Story, New Publication, New Contributor, Import CSV, or Ask AI Assistant
  • Access recent items you've viewed

Why One Shortcut?

Inkwren previously had shortcuts like Ctrl+S for Stories, Ctrl+P for Publications, and so on. These conflicted with standard browser functions (save page, print, etc.), which caused confusion.

The Command Palette approach is better:

  • No conflicts with browser shortcuts
  • Searchable — type what you want instead of memorizing keys
  • Discoverable — see all options when you open it

Tips

Just start typing: Open the Command Palette and type a few letters. It searches as you type.

Recent items appear first: When you open the palette without searching, your recently viewed items are right there.

Works everywhere: The shortcut works from any page, even while you're typing in a form field.
