Keyboard Shortcuts¶

Using keyboard shortcuts is the fastest way to interact with the Incremental RemNote plugin. This page provides a reference for all the shortcuts added by the plugin, as well as native RemNote shortcuts that are essential to the workflow.

The same shortcuts are listed twice, in two different orders — pick whichever matches what you already know:

By function — grouped by what you want to do (extract, prioritize, navigate the queue…). Use this when you know the task but not the key.
By key — grouped by modifier (Ctrl+…, Opt+…, Ctrl+Shift+……). Use this when you know the key but not what it does, or when you are looking for a free binding.

Also on this page: keys inside plugin popups, native RemNote shortcuts and macOS notes.

Plugin Shortcuts¶

This table lists all the custom keyboard shortcuts that are unique to the Incremental RemNote plugin.

Core Commands¶

Shortcut	Command Name	Function	Context
`Alt` + `X`	Make Incremental (Extract)	Tags the currently focused Rem as "Incremental". Performs a Reviewing-Items-in-the-Editor#extracting-text if text is selected. If triggered in the queue on a flashcard with no text selected, it intelligently converts that specific flashcard to an Incremental Rem natively.	Editor and Queue
`Alt` + `Shift` + `X`	Extract with Priority	Tags as "Incremental" and opens the Priority & Interval popup. Performs a Reviewing-Items-in-the-Editor#extracting-text if text is selected. If triggered in the queue on a flashcard with no text selected, it smartly converts the flashcard to an Incremental Rem and opens the Priority popup.	Editor and Queue
`Alt` + `Z`	Create Cloze Deletion	Applies Reviewing-Items-in-the-Editor#creating-clozes formatting to the selected text.	Editor Only
`Alt` + `Shift` + `Z`	Create Cloze Deletion with Priority	Same as above, then opens the Prioritization-&-Sorting#set-priority-popup to set a Card Priority for the new cloze Rem.	Editor Only
`Ctrl` + `J`	Reschedule Incremental Rem	Opens the Reschedule popup to set a custom next review date and priority. (On macOS: also `Ctrl+J`, not `Cmd+J`)	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `J`	Execute Incremental Rem Repetition	Opens a popup to register a review directly in the Editor (with manual time entry or timer mode). When in the queue, it opens the IncRem in the Editor (greater flexibility and editing power), and starts the Editor Review Timer; when the processing is finished, it open the queue document again, so the user can continue the queue. With another Rem selected in the queue (e.g. opened in the previewer with `P`), it targets that Rem and opens the Execute Repetition popup for it instead.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `F7`	Set Read Point (Bookmark)	Marks the focused descendant rem as the current reading position of a Rem-type Incremental Rem (resolved from the active review session or nearest ancestor IncRem). The rem-type analogue of a PDF/HTML highlight bookmark.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `F7`	View Read Points (History)	Opens the Read Points popup with the read-point history for the current Rem-type IncRem; click an entry to jump to that descendant.	Editor and Queue

Shortcut	Command Name	Function	Context
`Cmd` + `→` (Mac) / `Ctrl` + `→` (Win)	Next Item in Queue	Marks the current Incremental Rem as reviewed, calculates the next interval, and advances to the next item. Same as the "Next" button.	Queue Only
`Ctrl` + `D`	Dismiss Incremental Rem	Permanently finishes the item by transferring its history to the Dismissed state and removing the Incremental power-up. Same as the "Dismiss" button.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `J`	Review & Open	Reviews the item (rescheduling it), opens it in the editor, and starts the Editor Review Timer. When the processing is finished, it open the queue document again, so the user can continue the queue.	Editor and Queue

Queue Shortcuts

Priority Commands¶

Shortcut	Command Name	Function	Context
`Alt` + `P`	Set Priority	Opens the full Priority popup with analytics, inheritance info, and scope navigation.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Opt` + `P`	Quick Set Priority	Opens the Light Priority popup for fast priority adjustments without heavy stats.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Opt` + `↑`	Quick Increase Priority Number	Increases priority number by the Priority Step Size (default 5), making item less important.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Opt` + `↓`	Quick Decrease Priority Number	Decreases priority number by the Priority Step Size (default 5), making item more important.	Editor and Queue

Batch Operations¶

Shortcut	Command Name	Function	Context
`Alt` + `Shift` + `R`	Create Priority Review Document	Creates a review document with IncRems and cards sorted by priority.	Editor Only
(n/a)	Batch Priority Change (IncRems & Flashcards)	Opens popup to change priorities of Incremental Rems and Flashcards in bulk (Increase, Decrease, Spread evenly, Adjust proportionally). Access via Command Palette or Document Menu.	Editor Only
`Alt` + `Shift` + `C`	Batch Assign Card Priority	Opens popup to assign card priorities in bulk for all flashcards tagged with the focused Rem.	Editor Only

Shortcut	Command Name	Function	Context
`Alt` + `Shift` + `I`	Open Incremental Rems Main View	Opens the main view popup showing all Incremental Rems with filtering and sorting.	Global
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `H`	Open IncRem Repetition History	Opens the Single History view for individual items or Aggregated History view for folders with incremental descendants.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `I`	Toggle Ignore Tag	Adds/removes the `#ignore` tag on the focused Rem or a multi-rem selection (run from the Omnibar). Ignored rems are shrunk and dimmed (full opacity on hover/focus) and the tag chip is hidden — used during IR to mark already-read snippets that don't deserve becoming Incremental.	Editor Only

Editing Utilities¶

Shortcut	Command Name	Function	Context
`Shift` + `F8`	Bulletize Inline Selected Text	Toggles a `•` prefix on each line of a multi-line selection within a single rem. Restores bullets that a PDF highlight flattened into soft-wrapped text; a collapsed cursor bulletizes the whole rem. (Uses `Shift+F8` because `Opt+Shift+8` types `°` on macOS and `Ctrl+Opt+Shift+8` is RemNote's blue-highlight shortcut.)	Editor Only
`Alt` + `Shift` + `F`	Find Rem — Reference or Open	Floating picker that finds Rems RemNote's `[[` search can't surface (all-common-word names). Enter/click inserts a reference at the cursor (cloze-aware, accent-insensitive); Ctrl/Cmd+Enter inserts it as a pin (no text); Opt/Alt+Enter inserts the Rem's text then a pin ("Text with Pin", preserving formatting/images); Shift+Enter/Shift+click opens the Rem in a new pane.	Editor Only
`Shift` + `F3`	Text Case Converter	Cycles the selection through Title Case → UPPERCASE → lowercase, auto-detecting the current case. Rich-text safe; also works on multi-rem selections.	Editor Only

No default shortcut (run by quick code or from the Omnibar). The list-from-PDF-highlight commands ship unbound to avoid conflicts — invoke them by quick code: inl (Inlinize Detected List), brl (Break Inline List Into Children), and rlr (Restore List Rem). They act on the focused rem (no selection needed). Assign your own bindings in RemNote's keyboard-shortcut settings if you use them often.

Sources & Reading¶

Shortcut	Command Name	Function	Context
`Alt` + `O`	Open Hovered Source in Popup	Hover a reference pin first, then press: opens the PDF/HTML source behind it in a centered modal viewer, without navigating away and without tearing down the queue (auto-scrolls to the highlight). Hovering a non-source reference only shows a toast.	Editor and Queue
`Alt` + `Shift` + `O`	Open Hovered Source in Floating Window	Same viewer, opened as a non-blocking floating window (~48% width, right side) so the card stays visible for peeking back and forth. Stays open when you click inside the PDF, auto-closes when you advance the card, and `Esc` closes it without closing the queue.	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `F1`	Copy Rem Sources	Copies all sources of the focused Rem into a session clipboard (and registers it in the PDF index).	Editor Only
`Alt` + `Shift` + `V`	Paste Rem Sources	Adds the copied sources to every selected Rem (or the focused Rem). Sources already present are skipped, so it is safe to re-run.	Editor Only

Shortcuts by Key¶

The same bindings as above, grouped by the modifier you press, in the style of a keyboard map. Use it to look up a key you half-remember, to check which combinations are still free before assigning your own, or to spot conflicts with your other RemNote shortcuts.

Notation: Alt = Opt (Option) on macOS; Ctrl stays Ctrl on macOS (never Cmd) — see macOS Notes.

Single keys¶

The plugin binds no bare single-key shortcuts — single keys stay free for RemNote itself and for typing. The two single keys that matter in this workflow are native RemNote ones, active in the queue: P (Open in Previewer) and G (Go to Rem). See Native RemNote Shortcuts.

Function keys¶

Function keys carry the utilities whose natural letter combination was already taken by RemNote or produces a special character on macOS.

Shortcut	Command	Context
`Shift` + `F3`	Text Case Converter — cycle Title Case → UPPERCASE → lowercase	Editor
`Shift` + `F8`	Bulletize Inline Selected Text	Editor
`Ctrl` + `F7`	Set Read Point (Bookmark)	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `F7`	View Read Points (History)	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `F1`	Copy Rem Sources	Editor

Shift + key¶

Shortcut	Command	Context
`Shift` + `F3`	Text Case Converter	Editor
`Shift` + `F8`	Bulletize Inline Selected Text	Editor

`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `↑`	Quick Increase Priority Number (less important)	Editor and Queue
`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `↓`	Quick Decrease Priority Number (more important)	Editor and Queue

Cmd (Mac) / Ctrl (Win) + key¶

Shortcut	Command	Context
`Cmd` + `→` / `Ctrl` + `→`	Next Item in Queue	Queue

Not bound by default¶

These commands ship without a shortcut, so nothing collides with your own bindings. Run them from the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K) or by their quick code, or assign a key in RemNote's keyboard-shortcut settings:

Command	Quick code
Batch Priority Change (IncRems & Flashcards)	— (Command Palette / Document Menu)
Inlinize Detected List	`inl`
Break Inline List Into Children	`brl`
Restore List Rem	`rlr`
Open Sorting Criteria	`sort`
Open Priority Shield Graph	`shi`
Open Weighted Shield Popup	`wsh`
PDF Control Panel	`pdf`

The Plugin Commands Reference lists every command, bound or not.

Keys Inside Plugin Popups¶

These keys are active while a plugin popup or floating window is open — they are handled by the widget itself, not registered as global shortcuts.

Where	Key	Action
Priority popups (Light, Priority & Interval)	`Enter`	Apply and close
	`Esc`	Cancel and close
	`Tab`	Move to the next field (priority → interval → …)
Reschedule popup	`Enter`	Apply the new date/priority
	`Tab`	Cycle through the fields
	`Esc`	Close without rescheduling
Find Rem picker	`↑` / `↓`	Move through results
	`Enter`	Insert a reference at the cursor
	`Ctrl`/`Cmd` + `Enter`	Insert as a pin (no text)
	`Alt` + `Enter`	Insert the Rem's text, then a pin
	`Shift` + `Enter`	Open the Rem in a new pane
	`Esc`	Close the picker
Image Scan popup	`↑` / `↓`	Move between the two scopes (this Rem / whole knowledge base)
	`Enter`	Run the selected scope — or, on the report, close the popup
	`Esc`	Cancel and close (ignored while a scan is running, so a reflex Esc can't abort it)
Floating source window	`Esc`	Close the window without closing the queue

Important Native RemNote Shortcuts¶

While not part of the plugin itself, these native RemNote shortcuts are crucial for an efficient incremental learning workflow.

Shortcut	Name	Function	Context
`P`	Open in Previewer	Opens the current incremental Rem in a popup editor for quick edits.	Queue Only
`G`	Go to Rem	Exits the queue and navigates to the current Rem in the main editor. Note: This does not register your review of the card. For that, use the "Review & Open" button.	Queue Only

macOS Notes¶

Shortcuts using Alt on Windows/Linux correspond to Opt (Option) on macOS.
Shortcuts using Ctrl remain Ctrl on macOS (not Cmd/⌘).
Example: Ctrl+J on macOS is ⌃+J, not ⌘+J.
