Keyboard Shortcuts

The same list is available inside the app at Help → Keyboard Shortcuts, or by pressing Ctrl+/.

note

On macOS, use Cmd wherever Ctrl is listed below.

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+GGo to verse
Alt+UpPrevious chapter
Alt+DownNext chapter
Alt+LeftNavigate back in history
Alt+RightNavigate forward in history

The command palette

If you remember only one shortcut, make it Ctrl+Shift+P (or F1).

The command palette searches every command in the app by name, including ones with no shortcut of their own.

You can also reach it by typing / in the search bar.

The command palette open, with results for a partial query
