Keyboard Shortcuts

Livedocs has two main modes for working in the editor:

1. Edit Mode – When typing inside a cell, shortcuts are disabled so they don’t interfere with your work.
2. Command Mode – When navigating between cells or managing the notebook. Most shortcuts are available here.

You can see your current mode in the bottom-left corner of the editor.

• Exit Edit Mode – Press Esc.
• Enter Edit Mode – Click inside a cell or start typing.

Tips for Using Shortcuts Effectively

• Stay in command mode when navigating and managing your notebook for faster workflows.
• Use Run cell without cache when you want fresh data without modifying your query.
• Memorize cell creation shortcuts (b, q, m, v, t, p) to speed up notebook building.
• Double d is the quickest way to delete a cell.

You can view the full list of keyboard shortcuts anytime in doc settings (click the settings cog in the left sidebar).
