## Tips for Keyboard-First Workflows

**Start with the slash command**: Type `/` to access almost any feature without leaving your keyboard. This is often faster than remembering individual shortcuts.

**Use Quick Open liberally**: `Cmd+O` (macOS) or `Ctrl+O` (Windows) is your navigation hub. Type any document name, view name, or even "Calendar" or "Tasks" to jump anywhere.

**Combine shortcuts**: Many power users chain shortcuts together. For example: `Cmd+G` to group blocks, then immediately `Cmd+Shift+P` to style them as pages.

**Learn one category at a time**: Don't try to memorize everything at once. Master navigation shortcuts first, then editing, then styling.

<Info title="Non-English Keyboards">
  Some shortcuts may not work when your keyboard is set to a non-English layout. This is particularly true on Web app and Windows, which are only available in English. The keyboard layout can cause some shortcuts to shift or stop working.
