Keyboard shortcuts in Den

In Den, you can quickly accomplish many tasks using keyboard shortcuts. The same shortcuts work on Mac and, with a keyboard connected, on iPad and iPhone. A few shortcuts are available only on Mac and are marked in the tables.

On your Mac, the app’s menus show shortcuts beside their commands. On your iPad, hold down the Command key to see the shortcuts available on the current screen.

In the tables, ⌘ means Command, ⇧ means Shift, and ⌥ means Option (Alt). The symbol ⌃ means Control. Hold the modifier keys while pressing the final key. For example, ⇧⌘U means Shift-Command-U.

Available shortcuts depend on the current selection and viewer. Select an article before using article commands. On iPhone, open a channel or folder to work with its article list, and open an article to use viewer commands. Commands that are unavailable appear disabled.
