Notes shortcuts and hotkeys overview

Swift To-Do List 7 is a great notes management tool and is equipped with many useful notes shortcuts. This is a thorough overview of all notes shortcuts and hotkeys that you can use.

These hotkeys work in all notes panels: In the main Swift To-Do List window, in the Add/Edit task dialog, in reminders, and of course also in memos.

Please note that not every action has a hotkey assigned (eg. “Remove Formatting” or “Clear Notes” actions must be used via toolbar):

    These hotkeys really make my work faster when working with notes. Actually, after working for a while with hotkeys, I have every shortcut on my mind and hardly need to touch the mouse. Great stuff.
