Keyboard shortcuts
Every key Skovrum responds to, on any screen, in the note box, in live mode and in the presenter window.
Your words may differ. Each workspace can choose its own words: a class might be a cohort, program or group, a learner a participant, trainee or new hire, a session a module or lesson. These guides use the default words. The steps are the same whatever your workspace calls them. Change your workspace's words
Skovrum can be used almost entirely from the keyboard. Press ? on any screen to see the main shortcuts in a panel. This page lists them all.
On a Mac, use ⌘ wherever this page says Ctrl.
Any screen
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+K | Open the command palette to jump to any class, learner or session, or run an action |
| Ctrl+Shift+K | Quick capture a note or question |
| / | Jump to search |
| N | New task |
| J / K | Next or previous session in the same class. Elsewhere, opens your current session. |
| L | On a session, teach it in live mode |
| ? | Show the shortcuts panel |
| Esc | Close whatever is open on top: a menu, a dialog or a panel |
The single keys (/, N, J, K, L, ?) only work when you're not typing in a box, and not while a dialog is open. N isn't available to read-only roles, which can't create tasks.

| Enter | Open the highlighted result |
| Esc | Close the palette |

These work in the box at the bottom of a session. See Take notes during a session.
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
