App Tip
[quote="lunkmoln, post:4, topic:2625, full:true"]
The app CheatSheet gives you a list of all shortcuts in any app by holding down the Cmd-key a few seconds.

Big thanks to @lunkmoln for the above tip!
Custom Keyboard Shortcuts
Did you know you can assign (and change) the keyboard shortcuts for Agenda yourself? For example you can re-assign the Quickly Open command a different shortcut by going to the System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts:
This works with any command, and also note that those are ellipses (… or ⌥ ;), not three periods.

Hello, thank you for these shortcuts. They are not only super helpful but also taught me some new Agenda features. :+1:
Just a quick question, when we select Preferences in the Agenda App, in Appearance there is an example of the appearance. I noted a green box for article (see screenshot). How do you do this? Or is this just a placeholder example for Command-K and attaching files? Thank you.

This is an attached file:

Attach File…
Once you have attached the file you can click/tap-and-hold it to reveal a set of options that includes showing it in so-called "inline" style. This will make it appear as a green token:
Perfect, thank you @mekentosj for your help and explanation. I am looking forward to try it out.

I installed CheatSheet on the Mac and though it works it does not show ALL the shortcuts of Agenda (as compared to the pdf)
Any idea what that is?
Best,
Gerald

Hello,
Would be great to use CMD + [ and ] to go back and forward in history, just like any other browser. (I'm using the current existing shortcut)
Pat_Maddox | 2021-08-21 16:53:13 UTC | #7
You can define custom shortcuts for any application in Application Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts and then go to the App Shortcuts section (more detailed instructions here). I have those exact shortcuts set up in fact:

This doesn’t include shortcuts like [[ - which I can’t find anywhere in the forum!
I know how to use [[ to add a link to another note, but I thought it could also be used to create a new note at the same time - but perhaps I’m imaginging that.
