Every user-visible shortcut in MD View, grouped by what you’d reach
for. Print this page — the print stylesheet collapses it to a single
reference card.

and writes a real document — see PDF

Notes for power users
- Find bar: typing ? while the find bar has focus
inserts a literal
?, not the help overlay. The help overlay only
fires when no input is focused.
- Lightbox: when the image lightbox is open, ← and
→ step between images.
- Ctrl+Shift+T is consumed by
WebView2 (“reopen closed tab”) and intentionally not used.
- Ctrl+P is also handled natively by
WebView2; the menu accelerator is cosmetic.
Print this page
Open the browser print dialog (Ctrl+P in your
browser, not the app). The print stylesheet hides the sidebar, the
TOC rail, and the site chrome — you’ll get a clean one-pager you can
tape to your monitor.
