Keyboard shortcuts

Move around Mandaboard without leaving the keys — sections, the command palette, creating things, and list navigation.

Last updated October 19, 2026

Mandaboard is built to be driven from the keyboard.

Sections

Keys	Go to
`⌘1`	Board
`⌘2`	Mandala
`⌘3`	Wins
`⌘4`	Thought Log
`⌘5`	Completed
`⌘6`	Archive

The command palette

Press ⌘K to open the palette. It searches across:

Sections — jump to any room.
Actions — new card, area, win, thought record or board; switch board; open board settings; toggle the sidebar.
Content — your records, wins and cards, once you start typing.

Use the arrow keys to move, Return to run a row, and Esc to close.

Creating things

⌘N — create whatever fits the current section (a card on Board or Mandala, a win on Wins, a thought record on Thought Log).
⌘⇧N — always create a new board.

Lists

↑ / ↓ move the selection; Return opens the selected row.
⌘D deletes the selected row (behind a confirmation).
Esc clears the selection.

The window

⌃⌘S — show or hide the sidebar.
