# Keyboard shortcuts

The complete shortcut reference for macOS, Windows, and Linux, from compile and SyncTeX to code intelligence and the slash menu.

Oleafly is comfortable to drive entirely from the keyboard. Press ⌘/ (Ctrl+/) inside the app anytime for a searchable version of this list.

macOS shortcuts are listed first; the Windows/Linux equivalent swaps ⌘ for Ctrl.

![Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts. Choose Application, Editor, Code intelligence, or PDF, then find the command you need.](https://cdn.oleafly.com/images/screenshots/desktop/docs/settings-shortcuts-dark-window-v2.png#view=519,89,883,902)

## Customize application shortcuts

Open **Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts** to change Recompile, Command palette, Search all documents, Go to PDF, or Shortcut reference. Select the displayed keys, press the new combination, and click elsewhere to cancel recording. Reset controls restore one binding or all application bindings. Custom bindings must include ⌘ on macOS or Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Oleafly rejects standalone keys and combinations already used by the editor.

| ⇧F12 | Shift+F12 | Find references (opens the References panel) |

## Inline AI review

While an [inline AI edit](/docs/ai-inline-edit/) is showing its diff: Enter accepts, Esc rejects.

## Layout

The view is controlled from the toolbar rather than shortcuts: the **Source / Split / PDF** segmented control switches layouts, the divider drags to resize, and clicking the active rail tab collapses the sidebar.

## Vim mode

Toggle **Vim mode** in Settings, General (or via the ⌘K palette) for the full Vim keybinding set (`hjkl`, `i`, `:w`, `dd`, `ciw`, visual mode) alongside everything above. See [The editor](/docs/editor/#vim-mode).

## Where else commands live

Almost everything with a shortcut also lives somewhere clickable: the [editor toolbar](/docs/writing/latex/#find-every-toolbar-control), the right-click menu, the ⌘K command palette (fuzzy-searches every action: recompile, word count, add citation, insert figure, toggle theme, and more), and the ⌘⇧F omnibar with its `/` scopes (`/create`, `/projects`, `/docs`, `/theme`, `/settings`).
