Keyboard Shortcuts
The complete list. Desktop only, and this page is the only full reference.

Jump to a Section
Press the letter on its own. Each key is also shown on a badge in the tooltip when you hover that item in the desktop sidebar.
| Key | Goes to |
|---|---|
| H | Home |
| A | Activity |
| P | Plan |
| W | Wealth |
| E | Explore |
Create Something
Hold Cmd on a Mac, or Ctrl on Windows and Linux, and press the letter. Each opens the same form the + menu would.
| Shortcut | Creates |
|---|---|
| Cmd / Ctrl + N | A transaction |
| Cmd / Ctrl + B | A budget |
| Cmd / Ctrl + G | A goal |
| Cmd / Ctrl + H | A holding |
| Cmd / Ctrl + A | An account or asset |
| Cmd / Ctrl + L | A credit card or loan |
Move Through a List
Click into a transaction list and the arrow keys take over. ↓ and ↑ move the selection from row to row, opening each as they go and scrolling it into view. The selection wraps, so ↓ on the last row returns to the first.
This pairs well with reviewing a backlog: filter the list down first, then walk it with the arrows without touching the mouse.
Type to Search a Dropdown
With any dropdown open - a category picker, a form select, a multi-select - just start typing and the list filters down to the options that match. Keep typing to narrow it further. Pause for about a second and the next keystroke starts a fresh search rather than adding to the old one.
In a Text Field
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| ↓ / ↑ | Move through the name suggestions under a transaction name field |
| Enter | Take the highlighted suggestion, or save an inline edit |
| Esc | Dismiss the suggestions, or cancel an inline edit |
Esc also closes whatever modal or dialog is open, which is the fastest way out of a form you opened by mistake. The exception is a detail view you are editing: there Esc cancels the edit and takes you back to the detail view, and a second press closes it.
Why a Shortcut Might Not Fire
Good to know
Shortcuts are desktop only, and they are deliberately suppressed while you are typing in an input or while a modal is open - otherwise pressing P in a transaction name would throw you onto the Plan page mid-word. Close the dialog or click outside the field first.
On a phone or tablet, use the bottom bar and the swipe gestures instead. See App Navigation.
