Keyboard shortcuts

Why learn the shortcuts?

Shortcuts take time to get used to, and they can even slow you down at the beginning. Stempad also happens to have several to remember. But once you get the hang of them, you'll never look back. Shortcuts make you more productive, and decrease the friction to getting your ideas onto the page, which is what Stempad is all about.
