Keyboard Shortcuts

FAVORO supports keyboard shortcuts to help you navigate and manage your bookmarks efficiently.

Global Shortcuts

These shortcuts work from anywhere in the application:

Shortcut Action
Cmd+K / Ctrl+K Open link launcher (search)
1 - 9 Switch to area by position
Cmd+. / Ctrl+. Show keyboard shortcuts help
Escape Close modal or cancel current action

Area Switching

Quickly switch between your areas using number keys:

  • Press 1 to switch to your first area
  • Press 2 to switch to your second area
  • And so on, up to 9 for your ninth area

This works from anywhere in FAVORO, as long as you're not typing in an input field.

Keyboard Shortcuts Help

Press Cmd+. (Mac) or Ctrl+. (Windows/Linux) to open the keyboard shortcuts help modal. This displays all available shortcuts in a quick reference overlay.

Link Launcher

When the link launcher is open:

Shortcut Action
↑ / ↓ Navigate through results
Enter Open selected link
Escape Close link launcher

Using the Link Launcher

The link launcher is the fastest way to open links in FAVORO:

  1. Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux)
  2. Start typing to search
  3. Use arrow keys to select a result
  4. Press Enter to open

Search Tips

  • Search matches link labels and URLs
  • Partial matches work ("git" finds "GitHub")
  • Results are grouped by section
  • Most relevant matches appear first

Keyboard Navigation Tips

Learn One Shortcut First

Start with Cmd+K / Ctrl+K for the link launcher. This single shortcut will save you the most time as you use FAVORO daily.

Quick Area Access

Once you've organized your areas, use the number keys (1-9) to jump directly to the area you need. No searching, no clicking.

Keep Your Hands on the Keyboard

The link launcher is designed for keyboard-only use. You can search, select, and open links without touching the mouse.

Use Browser Shortcuts Too

Combine FAVORO shortcuts with browser shortcuts for maximum efficiency:

Shortcut Action
Cmd+T / Ctrl+T New tab
Cmd+W / Ctrl+W Close tab
Cmd+L / Ctrl+L Focus address bar
Cmd+Shift+B / Ctrl+Shift+B Toggle bookmarks bar

Keyboard Hint

When you first use FAVORO, a subtle hint appears in the bottom-right corner showing how to access keyboard shortcuts. You can dismiss this hint, and your preference will be remembered.
