Using keyboard shortcuts in the editor

Keyboard shortcuts can help you work more efficiently in the Tangelo editor by reducing the need to switch between the keyboard and mouse. Many common actions, such as formatting text, searching content, inserting special characters, or navigating comments, can be performed directly using shortcuts.

To view all available shortcuts:

  1. Open a document in the editor.
  2. Click the keyboard icon in the bottom-right corner of the editor.
  3. The Keyboard Shortcuts window opens.
  4. Use the search field to find a specific shortcut.
