Keyboard shortcuts

Move around ShrinkNotes without reaching for the mouse. These single-key shortcuts work anywhere in the app once you’re logged in.

What are the ShrinkNotes keyboard shortcuts?

  • fFind a client. Opens the client search box and focuses it so you can type a name.
  • c — Go to the Calendar.
  • h — Go Home.
  • aAdd a client (opens the new-client form).
  • EscClose the client search box.

When do shortcuts apply?

To stay out of your way, shortcuts follow a few sensible rules:

  • They work only when you’re logged in and on an app page — not on public pages like a client’s intake form.
  • They’re ignored while you’re typing in a text field or note editor, so they never disrupt your writing. Esc is the exception — it still closes search.
  • They don’t fire while you hold Cmd or Ctrl, so your browser’s own shortcuts (like find-on-page) keep working normally.
Good to know: there’s no on-screen shortcut menu inside the app yet — this page is the reference. Bookmark it while the shortcuts become second nature.
