Shortcuts and the command palette

The keyboard shortcuts Rejarsume has, where each one works, and how to use the command palette to reach anything else.

View as Markdown

The modifier key

On Windows and Linux the modifier is Ctrl, so the command palette is

Ctrl + K.

The rest of this page writes Ctrl. Read ⌘ on a Mac.

The shortcuts

Open Keyboard shortcuts from the application menu, or from the command palette, for the same list inside the app. It lists only what is bound.

Anywhere in the app:

KeysDoes
Ctrl + KOpens the command palette
Ctrl + BCollapses or expands the sidebar
Ctrl + ZUndoes the last change to the resume
Ctrl + Shift + ZRedoes (also Ctrl + Y)

In the Markdown and CSS panes:

KeysDoes
Ctrl + ZUndoes typing, a step at a time
Ctrl + FFinds in the pane
F1Opens the code editor's own list of commands

On the paper, in Visual mode:

KeysDoes
EnterEdits the highlighted text, then keeps the change
EscapeFinishes editing and discards the change

Why some do not work everywhere

The code panes and the paper are not part of the page around them. The code editor is a text editor of its own with its own bindings, and the paper is a separate document, so a keystroke inside either does not reach the app. That is deliberate. It means that while your cursor is in a code pane, or you are editing a field on the paper, Ctrl + K and

Ctrl + B do nothing, and the undo shortcut undoes what you typed there rather than the whole resume. Click outside them and the shortcut means the app again. The buttons in the bar always act on the whole resume.

The command palette

Ctrl + K opens the palette, which has a field marked Search commands…. Type any part of what you want. It matches a command's name, its description and some related words, so "folder" finds New group and "dark" finds the theme command. If nothing matches it says No command matches that. Choose a command with the mouse, or with the arrow keys and Enter.

0:00 / 0:00

The command palette searched by a word, a related word and a name, the shortcut sheet it opens, and the sidebar toggled with Ctrl+B.

It is the quickest way to reach the rest of the app from the keyboard:

  • Create: New resume, New cover letter and New group.
  • Go to: All resumes, Archived, Templates, Images, Fonts, Settings, About Rejarsume and Documentation.
  • This app: the light or dark theme, Toggle sidebar, Keyboard shortcuts, Take the tour, and, once the interface has more than one language, a switch to each of the others.
