Shortcuts
Recommended Chrome shortcut bindings for faster saving and retrieval.
Shortcuts help Keep Mates disappear into your browsing flow. Set the commands you will actually remember and use repeatedly, not an overly clever set you forget in a day.
Use the built-in board shortcuts
Keep Mates includes quick actions directly in the board interface so you can move faster without hunting through menus.
These shortcuts are most useful once you already have a working save flow and want retrieval, organization, and light navigation to feel more immediate.
- 1
Open your board and look at the shortcuts bar near the bottom area of the interface.
The shortcuts bar shows the quickest ways to open search, change theme, create folders, and create projects. - 2
Use Ctrl + M for Search when you want to find saved references quickly.
- 3
Use Ctrl + Shift + F for Folder or Ctrl + Shift + A for Project when you want to create structure without leaving the board.
Pro tip: Start with one or two shortcuts you will use every day. Search and create-folder shortcuts usually pay off first.
What each shortcut is for
Each shortcut is there to remove a repeated click from the workflow. The goal is not memorizing everything at once. The goal is reducing friction in the parts of Keep Mates you use most often.
- Ctrl + M: Open Search and jump into retrieval faster.
- Theme: Switch the board theme without digging through settings.
- Ctrl + Shift + F: Create a new folder while organizing references.
- Ctrl + Shift + A: Create a new project or board quickly.
Keep the shortcut set small
Shortcuts only help if they become muscle memory. Start with one or two that reduce friction immediately, then add more only after the first set becomes natural.
If you force too many shortcuts at once, they become easy to forget and stop helping the workflow.
