Complete Craft keyboard shortcuts and commands reference — 13 shortcuts across 1 category. Quick reference cheat sheet for Windows & Mac.
Craft is a block-based document app for Apple platforms (and now Windows and the web), and its keys are a notes app's: slash commands to insert blocks, Cmd + K for links, Tab to nest, and two navigation shortcuts that matter once a workspace has many documents. The table uses Cmd as Craft documents it; Windows uses Ctrl.
| Shortcut | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cmd + N | New document | Create a new document. |
| Cmd + K | Insert link | Insert a link. |
| Cmd + Shift + M | Navigate | Navigate to a page. |
| / | Slash command | Select block type. |
| Cmd + D | Duplicate | Duplicate a block. |
| Cmd + B | Bold | Bold the selected text. |
| Cmd + I | Italic | Italicize the selected text. |
| Cmd + U | Underline | Underline the selected text. |
| Cmd + Z | Undo | Undo the last change. |
| Cmd + Shift + Z | Redo | Redo the last undone change. |
| Cmd + O | Quick open | Jump to any document by typing its name. |
| Cmd + F | Find in document | Search text inside the current document. |
| Tab | Indent block | Nest the current block one level deeper. |
The most essential Craft shortcuts are: Cmd + N (New document), Cmd + K (Insert link), Cmd + Shift + M (Navigate).
The Craft shortcut for new document is Cmd + N. Create a new document.

A / typed on an empty line brings up the block menu — headings, toggles, code, tables, images and page links — the way structure enters a Craft doc. Tab indents a block under the one above, creating the nesting that Craft's outline view and collapsible toggles depend on; Shift + Tab outdents. Text formatting is the usual bold/italic/underline set (Cmd + B, Cmd + I, Cmd + U) and Cmd + K turns a selection into a link, including links to other Craft pages. Cmd + D duplicates the current block.
Cmd + O is quick open — type part of a document title and jump to it — and Cmd + Shift + M opens the navigate/move picker for moving the current block or page elsewhere in the hierarchy. Cmd + N creates a document in the current space. Cmd + F finds within the open document; workspace-wide search is in the sidebar.
Block operations, not just text, are reversible — undo on Cmd + Z, redo on Cmd + Shift + Z — so an accidental move or delete of a whole nested section can be reversed. Craft syncs continuously; version history lives in the document menu.
