Keyboard shortcuts

The keys that get you around Memorics and through a session.

You can use almost all of Memorics from the keyboard. In the app, press ? (or choose Help, then Keyboard shortcuts in the account menu) to see every shortcut. Buttons show their key too, and the navigation shows its keys when you point at an icon. On a Mac, use ⌘ where it says Ctrl.

Everywhere

  • Ctrl K: search
  • Ctrl .: open or close the assistant, which is the AI tab while you read a source
  • ?: keyboard shortcuts
  • ← and →: make the assistant, or a source’s side panel, narrower or wider, once its edge has the focus (Tab gets there); Shift for a bigger step
  • G then D: Today
  • G then T: Topics
  • G then S: Study
  • G then E: Exams
  • G then X: Explore

On pages

  • N adds something new: a topic on Topics, an exam on Exams, and on a topic a subtopic, card or source, depending on the open tab. On a source, it writes a card from it.
  • S studies: the topic on its page, the day on Today, the exam on its page.
  • / searches Explore.
  • While selecting, Ctrl A selects everything and Esc stops.
  • On a PDF, + and - zoom and 0 fits the width.

In the assistant

  • Enter: send your message, and Shift Enter for a new line
  • @: mention a topic, source, card or exam, then the arrow keys and Enter or Tab to pick one, and Esc to close the list
  • /: pick a skill for your message, chosen the same way
  • Alt and a click on a card or source: mention it in your message, while the assistant is open
  • 1 to 6: pick an answer when the assistant asks you something, and Enter for the next question or to send your answers

In the card editor

  • Ctrl Enter: save the card
  • Esc: close the editor, or cancel your changes

The formatting keys are in Formatting, math and images.

While studying

  • Space or Enter: reveal the next part
  • Shift Space: reveal everything
  • 1 to 4: Again, Hard, Good, Easy (in practice, 1 and 3)
  • Ctrl Enter: check a typed answer, then Enter for Good if it was right
  • L: ask later
  • Z: undo
  • W: wrap up, or keep going
  • E: edit the card
  • F: flag the card
  • S: read the card’s source, once revealed
  • O: options
  • B: take a break, and N: next topic, in the day’s session
  • Esc: leave

At the end of a session, Enter does what’s suggested, and the other buttons show their keys. Between the topics of the day’s session, L studies the next topic later.

Keys don’t work while you’re typing in a field, or while a menu or dialog is open. On touch screens Memorics doesn’t show keys at all.
