Keyboard shortcuts

The default shortcuts for navigation, notes, views and panels, and how to rebind any command.

Scaffold is built to be driven from the keyboard. Mod means Ctrl on Windows and Android keyboards.

Commands without a default shortcut

These are in the command palette, and you can bind them yourself: New folder, New canvas, Open previous and next daily note, Open random note, Create a backup copy of the vault, Export vault as zip, Open trash, Open file recovery, Delete current file and Open another vault.

Rebinding

Open Settings, Hotkeys to assign your own shortcut to any command, or to remove one. Scaffold warns you when two commands would share the same keys. Your choices are stored in your settings and apply to plugin commands too.

On Android, shortcuts work with a hardware keyboard. Everything also has a touch route through the command palette, the bottom navigation bar and menus.
