Keyboard Shortcuts¶

What it is¶

Press ? anywhere in the documentation to open the keyboard shortcuts panel, which lists every binding.

When to use it¶

Shortcuts are always available in the theme and require no configuration — they are discoverable via ?. They matter most for power users who navigate documentation with the keyboard instead of the pointer.

In Markdown¶

No Markdown needed — the shortcuts are global page furniture, registered by the theme's script on every page.

Configuration¶

The shortcuts ship enabled; there is no per-site switch. The panel itself is rendered by the theme and lists the bindings below.

Live preview / screenshot¶

Search¶

Keys	Action

Tabs¶

While a tab group is focused:

Keys	Action
← / →	Switch between tabs

Toggle overlays¶

Keys	Action
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N	Toggle the notes panel
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + B	Toggle the sidebar (navigation)
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + T	Toggle the table of contents

Persistence: Sidebar, TOC, and notes panel open/closed states are remembered in localStorage and restored on your next visit — independent of what other visitors see.

Under the hood¶

• The help panel is the .void-keyboard-help overlay; ? toggles it and the bindings are handled by the theme's global key handler.
• Overlay states (sidebar, TOC, notes) persist via localStorage keys and are restored on load.

Accessibility notes¶

• All shortcuts mirror standard browser/document conventions (/ search, Esc close, arrow keys) rather than hijacking common keys.
• Every shortcut target (search, notes, help) is reachable by pointer too, so keyboard bindings are enhancements, not the only path.
• To apply the classes yourself via the attr_list extension, see CSS Classes in Markdown.
