Complete Raindrop.io keyboard shortcuts and commands reference — 10 shortcuts across 1 category. Quick reference cheat sheet for Windows & Mac.
Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager, and its web and desktop apps share a small keyboard layer for the actions you repeat: add, search, open, delete, move through the list. Single letters work when focus is outside a text field. The table follows the app's own list; the browser extension adds a separate save shortcut set in the browser.

|---|---|---|
| D | Add bookmark | Bookmark current page. |
| S | Search | Search bookmarks. |
| Enter | Open | Open selected bookmark. |
| Delete | Delete | Delete selected bookmark. |

D or Ctrl + N opens the new-bookmark dialog, where a pasted URL is fetched for title and cover. S jumps to search and Ctrl + F does the same, with filters such as #tag and type:article typed inline. ↑ / ↓ move through the results and Enter opens the highlighted bookmark in a new tab. Esc closes the editor or search.
Delete moves the highlighted bookmark to Trash, and Ctrl + A selects every bookmark in the current collection for a bulk move, tag or delete. Drag and drop moves items between collections in the sidebar. Cmd + , opens preferences in the desktop app, where the default view and theme live.
The browser extension is where most bookmarks come from, and it has its own shortcut (configured in the browser's extension settings) that saves the current page with one key and lets you pick a collection and tags in a popup. Keyboard selection and Enter work in that popup too, so a save is two keys plus a collection name.
