Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut in Kaizendex — search, logging from the chat, and the full Notion-style set in the editor, with Mac and Windows / Linux keys side by side.
Kaizendex is built to be driven from the keyboard on desktop — search, logging, and writing all have shortcuts, and the editor uses the same combinations you know from Notion. On your phone there's no keyboard to bind, so these apply to the web and desktop apps only.
Every table lists the Mac keys and the Windows / Linux keys side by side.
⌘ is Command, ⌥ is Option (Alt), and ⇧ is Shift.
Clicking or tabbing to controls does not add a focus outline or ring. Keyboard shortcuts and text editing still work as usual.
Anywhere in the app
On a wide screen, activate the sidebar logo to collapse or expand navigation. Pages such as entries and collections smoothly slide together with the sidebar, keeping their width and the wallpaper still. Chats stay centered, and narrow screens open navigation over the page. If your device requests reduced motion, the page moves instantly.
| Action | Mac | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Open search — jump to any collection, entry, or page | ⌘ + K | Ctrl + K |
| Undo your last action — a delete, a move, a reset | ⌘ + Z | Ctrl + Z |
| Redo it | ⌘ + ⇧ + Z | Ctrl + Shift + Z |
| Close the open dialog, menu, or search | Esc | Esc |
While you type in a text field, ⌘ + Z undoes your typing instead.
Logging from the chat
Type in the Your log composer and a list of matching collections and presets pops up above it, with the most likely one already selected — ranked by how well it matches and how often you actually log it. You never have to touch the mouse. These keys are the same on every platform:
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
Enter | Log the selected suggestion |
↑ / ↓ | Move the selection through the suggestions |
↓ past the bottom | Step out of the list — Enter now sends your text to the AI |
Esc | Dismiss the suggestions |
⇧ + Enter | New line in your message |
Free-text that matches no collection — "did 30 pushups and ran 5k" — goes
straight to the AI on Enter, and the send button always talks to the AI.
Writing in the editor
The block editor covers the common Notion set.

toggles, and the / menu) are covered in
Editor shortcuts.
