Keyboard shortcuts
Move around Limn without the mouse: the g keys, Search or jump, and the shortcut sheet.
On this page
Every part of Limn can be reached from the keyboard. Press ? anywhere to see the shortcut sheet, which lists the keys for the pages you have. Keys do nothing while you type in a text box. Shortcuts are not printed on buttons; the sheet and Search or jump list them. The ? button at the foot of the sidebar opens these docs, not the sheet; the ? key still opens the sheet.
#Anywhere
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| ⌘ K | Search or jump: a page, a setting, a pull request, a ticket. Ctrl K on Windows and Linux. |
| / | The same. |
| ? | The shortcut sheet. |
| i | Back to the last of Open pull requests, Pending, Docs, Feed, Reports, Bots Monitoring or a repository page that you had open. |
| Esc | Close the top layer. With the Timeline on, then leave a tab for the Timeline, or clear its selection. |
#Go to a page
Press g, then a letter, within about a second.
| Keys | Page |
|---|---|
| g o | Open pull requests |
| g p | Pending |
| g s | This Sprint |
| g t | Timeline, when it is on |
| g d | Docs |
| g f | Feed |
| g r | Reports |
| g b | Bots Monitoring |
#Lists
These keys work in the lists on Open pull requests, Pending and the other row lists. Nothing is selected when a list opens; j, k or a click selects the first row.
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| j | Next row. |
| k | Previous row. |
| ↵ | Open the selected row in the side panel. Press it again to open the pull request. |
| ⇧ ↵ | Go straight to the item (Pending). A double-click does the same. |
| a | Approve, where you were asked to review and approving is allowed. |
| m | Merge, where the pull request can land and you can push to the repository. |
| e | Dismiss a My turn card (the sheet calls it Done). |
| z | Undo the last dismiss, approve or merge, while the Undo offer shows. |
| o | Open the pull request on GitHub. |
| r | Open the AI review (Open pull requests). |
| 1 | 1 to 9 switch the page's tabs. |
#Timeline
These work when the Timeline is on.
| j k | Move through the board's pull requests. Enter opens the selected one's card. |
#A pull request
| 1 | 1 to 9 switch its tabs: Overview, Activity, Threads, Changes and the rest. |
| n p | Changes: next or previous file. |
| ] [ | Changes: next or previous review thread. |
More about each tab is in Open a pull request.
