Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut on one page.
Pustaka Biodiversitas can be used entirely from the keyboard. Press ⌘/ in the app to see this list, with a search box.
⌘ = Command · ⌥ = Option · ⇧ = Shift · ⌃ = Control. Use the macOS | Windows switch at the top to see the Windows shortcuts.
On Windows, some shortcuts differ from macOS so they do not clash with Windows conventions: delete a taxon with Delete, change topic with Ctrl+PgUp/Ctrl+PgDn, change taxon with Alt+←/Alt+→, and redo with Ctrl+Y.
