Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut in Resurf on one page. The global shortcuts can be changed in Settings → Shortcuts.

Mac · iPad

Resurf’s keyboard shortcut settings, including Quick capture and Quick screenshot.
Customize Quick capture, Spotlight search, and Quick screenshot in Settings → Shortcuts.

Overview

Three shortcuts work from any app on Mac: ⌘⇧C opens the capture widget, ⌘⇧F opens Quick Search, and ⌘⇧2 takes a screenshot. All three can be changed in Settings → Shortcuts, which also has unset slots for Quick note, Quick link, Quick media, and Quick voice.

Inside the app, most actions are a single letter pressed while hovering a card.

FAQ

Why does a global shortcut not fire?

Another app has probably claimed it. Settings → Shortcuts shows a notice when a shortcut is in use elsewhere, and refuses combinations macOS will not accept. Choose a different one there.

Why does ⌘B sometimes not toggle the sidebar?

While a note is open, ⌘B belongs to the editor and makes text bold.
