Big thanks to @lunkmoln for the above tip!
Did you know you can assign (and change) the keyboard shortcuts for Agenda yourself? For example you can re-assign the Quickly Open command a different shortcut by going to the System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts :
This works with any command, and also note that those are ellipses (… or ⌥ ;), not three periods.

Hello, thank you for these shortcuts. They are not only super helpful but also taught me some new Agenda features.
Just a quick question, when we select Preferences in the Agenda App, in Appearance there is an example of the appearance. I noted a green box for article (see screenshot). How do you do this? Or is this just a placeholder example for Command-K and attaching files? Thank you.

This is an attached file:

Command
⇧⌘ A
Attach File…
Once you have attached the file you can click/tap-and-hold it to reveal a set of options that includes showing it in so-called “inline” style. This will make it appear as a green token:

I installed CheatSheet on the Mac and though it works it does not show ALL the shortcuts of Agenda (as compared to the pdf)
Hello,
Would be great to use CMD + [ and ] to go back and forward in history, just like any other browser. (I’m using the current existing shortcut)

You can define custom shortcuts for any application in Application Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts and then go to the App Shortcuts section (more detailed instructions here ). I have those exact shortcuts set up in fact:

This doesn’t include shortcuts like [[ - which I can’t find anywhere in the forum!
I know how to use [[ to add a link to another note, but I thought it could also be used to create a new note at the same time - but perhaps I’m imaginging that.
