Keyboard shortcuts

Empi is built to be driven from the keyboard. Press ? anywhere to open the shortcuts panel, which lists everything below.

The command palette

Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) opens the command palette: search your tasks, notes and projects and jump straight to any view. It works even while you are typing in a field.

Single keys, from anywhere in the app. The same letters are shown next to each entry in the sidebar.
