Keyboard shortcuts

The keys the Mac app answers to, and where to find them in the menus

KB-4On the MacAll sections ↓

The Mac app puts the daily verbs on the keyboard. About, Keyboard Shortcuts lists them too, only those that work on the device you are using. On an iPad with a hardware keyboard, ⌘N, ⌥⌘N, ⌘S, ⌘R, ⌘F, ⌘1 to ⌘9 and ⌘, work the same, and ⌘ with a tap on a sidebar row puts its card side by side; Diagnostics' ⇧⌘D and the menus named below are the Mac's. The iPhone has no Keyboard Shortcuts tab.

Listings and pages

  • ⌘N: a new listing (File → New Listing), or the one you started and haven't published.
  • ⌥⌘N: a new page (File → New Page).
  • ⌘S: publish the listing, page, Site tab or Inventory Settings you are working in, as its check mark does (also File → Publish).
  • ⌘R: refresh the showcase from the host, to see changes made on another device.

Moving around

  • ⌘F: search the whole app (Edit → Search); ↓ and ↑ move through the results, Return opens one, Escape hides the search. See Searching the app (GS-6).
  • ⌘1 to ⌘9: the listings page on a status tab, in the tabs' order (For sale is ⌘1).
  • ⌘,: Settings, the window's own look and text (Showcaser → Settings…). Your site's details are Site in the sidebar.
  • ⇧⌘D: Diagnostics' Health Check, in a window of its own (Window → Diagnostics).
  • Help → Showcaser Manual opens this manual; Help → Report an Issue… opens Report an Issue (TS-3).
  • ⌘-click a sidebar row: put its card beside the one you're looking at. See Cards side by side and in windows (MAC-2).
  • File → Open in New Window: move what is on screen to a window of its own.
  • File → Keep This Arrangement: keep the cards side by side as a sidebar row.

In sheets and questions

  • Return chooses the highlighted button, such as Keep Mine or Put It Back when a listing was changed on another device.
  • Esc cancels.

In the photo viewer

  • ← and →: the previous or next photo or video of the listing or page.
  • ⌘+ and ⌘− zoom; ⌘0 goes back to actual size. Esc closes it. See Photos and video (LS-2).

What no key does

No shortcut deletes a listing. Delete Listing… is always a click on the button and then on Delete Listing, so a stray keystroke can never take a listing off your site. ⌘⌫ only forgets a kept arrangement that is on screen, which deletes nothing.
