Keyboard shortcuts
Everything OmaFont does from the keyboard, and where to find the list.
Where it is
? or F1 · Help ▸ Keyboard shortcuts
What you can do
- Press ? or F1 for the list of shortcuts, or choose Help ▸ Keyboard shortcuts.
- / filters the list, the arrow keys, Home, End and the page keys move through it, and Escape clears the stage, then the filter.
- Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+5 change the view; Ctrl plus, Ctrl minus and Ctrl+0 change the size.
- Ctrl+O installs, Enter installs what is staged, Ctrl+D deactivates, Ctrl+S stars, Ctrl+M compares, Ctrl+T sets the terminal font and Delete removes.
- Ctrl+B shows or hides the sidebar, Ctrl+L the language fonts, and Ctrl+R reads the font list again.
- Shortcuts that act on a family stand back while you type in a text box, so Ctrl+S in a note doesn't star the family.
