10th June 2016 at 4:21am

Keyboard shortcuts can either be used with the $keyboard Widget or with Keyboard Shortcut Tiddlers

The $keyboard Widget makes the shortcuts accessible within an input or textarea field A shortcut defined through a Keyboard Shortcut Tiddler makes the shortcut accessible globally

See How to create keyboard shortcuts with a detailed explanation for creating your own shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are available for common editing operations within the Text Editor:

  • Confirming changes to the draft tiddler containing the keyboard focus (defaults to ctrl-Enter)
  • Abandoning changes to the draft tiddler containing the keyboard focus (defaults to escape)
  • Formatting operations from the tiddler editing toolbar (see the tooltips)
