Keyboard shortcuts in Chronock for Mac

These shortcuts are available in Chronock for Mac 26.10.3. They work while Chronock is the app in front. They are not system-wide hotkeys. If you installed an earlier version, update to 26.10.3 first.

Command palette and app navigation

Shortcut	Action
Command+K or ?	Open the command palette
Command+,	Open settings
Command+[ / Command+]	Go to the previous / next page in the app history

The command palette searches actions and navigation destinations. It does not search the contents of your events.

Calendar actions

Key	Action
c	Create an event
e	Open the editor for the selected event
Delete or Backspace	Ask to delete the selected event (a confirmation appears first)
t	Go to today
p / n	Go to the previous / next period
g	Open the date picker

p and n move by whatever period is on screen: one day, two days, three days, or a week. In month view and the event list, they move by one month.

e and Delete apply to events you are able to edit. Creating, editing, and deleting all need a writable calendar and an internet connection.

Switching views

Key	View
d	Day
2	Two days
3	Three days
w	Week
m	Month
1	Monthly event list

These are plain keys. Press d by itself, not Command+D.

Moving with the arrow keys

View	Keys	Movement
Day, two-day, three-day, week	Left / Right	One day
Day, two-day, three-day, week	Up / Down	30 minutes, within the same day
Month	Left / Right	One day
Month	Up / Down	Seven days
Event list	Up / Down	Move focus to the previous / next event

In the grid views, use the arrow keys to select a date and time. With the calendar grid itself focused, press Enter to start an event at that position.

Saving in the event editor

Shortcut	Action
Command+S or Command+Enter	Save the event, when it can be saved

Example: add a meeting next Thursday at 2:00 PM

1. Press t to go to today, w for week view, and then n to move to next week.
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to Thursday at 2:00 PM, then press Enter. The event editor opens with that time.
3. Type the title and press Command+S to save.

When a shortcut does not respond

• You are typing. Single-key shortcuts and app navigation stay out of the way while you type in a text field or use a dialog or menu. In the event editor, Command+S and Command+Enter still save the event. These save shortcuts also pause during input-method composition; confirm the composed text before using them.
• Single-key shortcuts are turned off. A switch in the command palette turns single-key shortcuts on or off. The setting is saved on that Mac. While they are off, ? does not open the palette, so use Command+K.
• The event cannot be changed. Editing and deleting are available only for events you can edit, in a writable calendar, while you are online.
