What keyboard shortcuts does Drafty have?

Drafty keeps its shortcut set small on purpose: a handful of keys that cover the whole review loop — switch modes, walk the open threads, resolve what's handled. Press ? on any canvas to see the list without leaving the page.

On the canvas

• c — comment mode: your cursor becomes a comment pin.
• v — pointer mode: browse and interact with the page normally.
• n / p — next / previous open comment thread, in sidebar order (j and k work too).
• e — resolve the open thread, or reopen it if it's already resolved.
• ⌘[ / ⌘] — back and forward a page, the same bracket keys your browser uses. ⌘[ drops you back to your canvas list when there's nowhere else to go (Ctrl outside macOS).
• ⌘ ↵ — send the comment you're writing (Ctrl+Enter outside macOS).
• esc — close whatever's open: the composer, a panel, a dialog.
• ? — the shortcut sheet itself, also available from the dock menu.

The two-key review loop is the one to learn: n to step to the next piece of open feedback, e when it's handled. Walking threads never drops you into the reply box, so you can skim an entire review without touching the mouse — and start typing only when you have something to say.

While editing

Inside edit mode, the standard formatting set applies: ⌘B bold, ⌘I italic, ⌘⇧S strikethrough, ⌘⌥1–3 for headings, ⌘⇧8 for a bullet list, ⌘⇧9 for a task list, and ⌘Z to undo. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl in place of ⌘.

When shortcuts stay quiet

The bare keys (c, v, n, p, e, ?) are deliberately conservative. They never fire while you're typing in a text field, while you're editing the canvas, when a modifier key is held, on phones, or inside an embedded canvas — so writing the letter "c" in a comment never flips your mode. The ⌘-combos stay out of your way too: they don't fire while you're typing or inside an embed. If a key seems to do nothing, you're probably focused in an input; press esc first.

You don't have to memorize any of this: mode buttons show their key in the tooltip, and the comment composer notes its send and close keys right where you type.
