Keyboard Shortcuts
Tydora ships 48 customizable editing shortcuts. You can review every binding in Settings, change them to combinations you prefer, or reset them all to the defaults in one click.
Press Ctrl+, to open Settings and switch to the "Shortcuts" tab. For the complete default list, see 07-Settings/04-Shortcut-Reference.
Shortcut Groups
Shortcuts in Settings are grouped by function for easy lookup:
| Group | Count | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Format | 9 | Bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, code block, hyperlink, highlight, quote, horizontal rule |
| List | 6 | Bullet list, ordered list, task list, indent / outdent, toggle task state |
| Heading | 7 | Headings 1–6, paragraph |
| Insert | 3 | Table, insert above, insert below |
| Table | 9 | Insert / delete rows and columns, cell alignment |
| Edit | 3 | Undo, redo, select all (inside code blocks) |
| View | 6 | Toggle sidebar, typewriter mode, open mind map, split horizontally / vertically, new terminal |
| Mode | 1 | Mode switch (IR ↔ SV) |
| System | 4 | Close overlay, quick open file, command palette, open / close settings |
Besides those 48, a few app-level shortcuts are fixed in the program and are not in the Settings panel: Ctrl+S (save), Ctrl+W (close window), Ctrl+F (find), Ctrl+H (replace), Ctrl+G (knowledge graph).
Customizing Shortcuts
- Find the target command in the shortcut list.
- Click its current key combination.
- Press the new combination.
- It saves automatically and takes effect immediately.
No restart is needed after a change; the configuration is stored locally and persists with the app.
Resetting Shortcuts
Click the "Reset" button to restore all shortcuts to their default values.
Conflicts and Handover
Overlapping Combinations Within the App
A few combinations have two meanings depending on context, resolved at runtime:
| Shortcut | Context A | Context B |
|---|---|---|
Ctrl+- |
Inside a table: delete row | Outside a table: split vertically |
In the default configuration, "Ordered list" has no shortcut bound, and Ctrl+O belongs solely to "Quick Open". If you want a shortcut to insert an ordered list, assign a non-conflicting combination yourself.
Conflicts with Vim Mode
With 02-Editor/11-Vim-Mode enabled, some app shortcuts conflict with Vim keys (such as Ctrl+D, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+E, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+H, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+G). The "Vim Mode" tab in Settings offers per-item handover toggles, so you can decide individually whether each conflicting key goes to Vim or stays with the app.
