Keyboard shortcuts
Press ⌘ Shift / (Mac) or Ctrl Shift / (Windows, Linux) anywhere in the app to see this list. On a Mac, use ⌘ wherever this page says Ctrl.
Anywhere
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl K | Command palette — jump to any screen, find an account, holding, category or ticker, or type a question for Lucius. |
| Ctrl B | Show or hide the sidebar. In a rich-text field it means bold instead. |
| Ctrl / | Show or hide the Lucius panel. |
| H | Hide amounts — blurs every amount on screen, handy when sharing your screen. Press again to show them. Ignored while you’re typing in a field. |
| Ctrl Shift / | Show the keyboard shortcuts. |
Hide amounts stays on after a reload until you turn it off. You can also switch it from the sidebar footer (Hide amounts / Show amounts).
In an account’s register
Adding a transaction in the new-transaction row:

| Key | What it does |
|---|---|

| Shift Enter | New line. |

Desktop app only
The desktop app’s menus add these:

|---|---|
| Ctrl L | Open Lucius. |
| Ctrl N | New transaction. |
| Ctrl O | Import a statement or receipt. |
| Ctrl Shift E | Export your book. |
| Ctrl , | Settings. |
| Ctrl 1 … 8 | Go to Lucius, Assets, Accounts, Plan, Investments, Intel, Commitments, Dashboard. |
| ⌘ [ / ⌘ ] (Mac), Alt ← / Alt → (Windows, Linux) | Back / Forward. |
| Ctrl R (also F5 on Windows and Linux) | Reload. Ctrl Shift R force-reloads. |
Import and export aren’t available while the desktop app is connected to a server rather than a book on this computer.
