iPad keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts exposed by iPadOS menus and Odete’s palette.

Files and panels

These are the shortcuts the app registers in iPadOS menus. They require an open workspace; iPhone uses compact navigation and visible availability can differ.

Save All uses ⌥⌘S. Reset Layout and switching the central mode are in the View menu, but have no registered dedicated key.

⌘P opens files and ⇧⌘P opens the palette in command mode. ⇧⌘O opens project symbols. Within the palette, type @ for symbols in the open file or # for global symbols.

⌘F finds in the file, ⇧⌘F searches the project, and ⌃⌘J goes to definition. Esc closes the palette; arrows move selection and Enter opens the selected item.

Terminal and editing

In Terminal, Ctrl+C cancels the running command. Up and down arrows traverse history; Tab completes one result, completes a common prefix, or shows alternatives.

Available shortcuts appear in Odete menus and the keyboard bar. The editor accepts suggestions by tap, Tab, or Enter according to context.
