Keyboard Shortcuts
ReticulOS is built to be driven from the keyboard. Three shortcuts work system-wide; the rest apply inside the app.
Global shortcuts
These work everywhere, even when ReticulOS isn't focused:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Shift+\ | Toggle the widget — it disappears and reveals exactly in place |
| Ctrl+Shift+= | Capture the current on-screen text selection into the open collection |
| Ctrl+Shift+Space | Toggle the AI chat window (AI Mode is coming soon) |
Global shortcuts require an X11 session today. On Wayland they are limited — see Troubleshooting for desktop-level workarounds while native Wayland support is in development.
The widget
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Enter | Save the current input as a new item |
| Ctrl+V (in the textarea) | Paste — an image on the clipboard is saved directly as an image item |
| Enter (while editing a title) | Save the title |
| Esc (while editing a title) | Cancel the edit |
Reticulum
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+V | Capture the clipboard as a new cell (when no text field is focused) |
| Ctrl+Enter (in quick-add) | Save the capture |
| Esc (in search) | Clear the filter |
The cell editor
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| / | Open the block picker (slash commands) |
| ↑ / ↓ | Navigate the block picker |
| Enter | Insert the selected block |
| Ctrl+B / Ctrl+I / Ctrl+U | Bold / italic / underline the selection |
| Ctrl+click on a link | Open the link in your browser |
| Esc | Close the picker if open; otherwise save and close the editor |
| Enter (in the title field) | Jump to the body |
