Keyboard shortcuts

⌘ K (or ⌘ P) opens the Command Palette — one box for navigation and actions. Type to fuzzy-match:

  • Go anywhere — Scenes, Entities, Tome Notes, screens.
  • Search full text — titles and body content across the library.
  • Run actions — new Scene, start a Sprint, open Folio, compile, read aloud, split the pane, insert a footnote or citation.

If you learn one key in Trove, learn this one.

Keys Does Scope
⌘ K / ⌘ P Command Palette Everywhere
⌘ ⇧ N New Scene Everywhere
⌘ T Toggle Tome Everywhere
⌘ N New Tome Note (while Tome is open) Everywhere
⌘ B Bold Editor
⌘ I Italic Editor
⌘ ↵ Focus mode Editor
⌘ F Find in Scene Editor
⌘ ⇧ H Find & replace Editor
⌘ ⇧ R Read aloud Editor

Inside the palette: / to move, to confirm, Esc to close.

On Windows and Linux, is Ctrl.

Settings → Shortcuts lists every binding. Click one, press the keys you want, done — Trove flags conflicts as you go. A few keys are fixed (find-in-scene stays ⌘ F); the rest are yours to change.
