Keyboard shortcuts
Every shortcut Smolpad answers to, on the Mac and on an iPad with a hardware keyboard. Inside the app, ⌘/ shows the same list.
Open Smolpad
On the Mac, Smolpad lives in the menu bar and opens with a shortcut of your own choosing: record it in Settings › General under Open Smolpad. It opens the panel from anywhere, even while another app is active. There is no shortcut until you set one, so the panel never opens by accident.
Notes
| ⌘N | New note |
| ⌘K | Search your notes |
| ⌥⌘↑ | Previous note |

View
| ⌥⌘O | Show or hide the outline Mac |
| ⌘+ | Bigger text |

Window
These are Mac shortcuts; on iPad the system handles windows.
| ⌘/ | Show this list inside the app |
| ⌘, | Settings |
| ⌘W | Put the panel or the torn-off window away. Smolpad keeps running in the menu bar |
| ⌘Q | Quit Smolpad |
On iPad
With a hardware keyboard attached, the Notes, Edit and View shortcuts above work the same way, except where a row says Mac. Right-click a note in the list on the Mac, or press and hold it on iPad, for the actions that have no shortcut: rename, pin, move, duplicate, and Show in Finder or Files.
