Keyboard shortcuts

Useful commands and their contexts in the inspected app.

Applies to: App code inspected on October 3, 2026; distributed version not yet confirmed. Reviewed on October 3, 2026.

First, check the focus

These shortcuts come from the inspected app's registry. Cover, reader, Index, dialogs and text fields behave differently. An active field receives typing; Enter and Esc are not universal commands.

Open and find

With the cover focused, Enter or Space opens the Bible. On the cover, reader or Index, Ctrl+G opens Go to and Ctrl+F opens Search in the Index. Ctrl+I opens the Index from cover or reader. In the Index, Enter advances Book → Chapter → Verse and navigates at the final selector.

In the reader

Left/Right or PgUp/PgDn turn pages; Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn changes chapters. Ctrl+= increases text, Ctrl+- decreases it and Ctrl+0 resets it. Alt+Left returns after a jump; Alt+Right moves forward. These require reader focus; do not apply them to a text field.

Windows and system

Esc closes an overlay; in the reader, without an active field or control, it participates in navigation between testaments and the Index. Windows handles Alt+F4 and may close the Bible or app depending on the active window. F1 opens quick tips; Shift+F10 or Menu opens the cover/page context menu. F3 shows diagnostic validation information; it is optional.
