Keyboard shortcuts let you move through amaise faster, without reaching for the mouse. A full overview is always available right inside the app.
Opening the shortcuts overview
There are two ways:
Press the ? key (question mark) at any time.
Or click your avatar menu in the top right and choose Keyboard shortcuts.

Moving through documents and pages
The arrow keys take you through a whole case without the mouse:
↑ / ↓ — go to the previous or next document in the list
← / → — go to the previous or next page of the open document
When you press → (or ↓) on the last page of a document, amaise opens the next document for you — no need to go back to the list. And when you reach the very last document, pressing on once more loops back to the first one, so you can keep going in a circle and never get stuck at the end. It works the same in reverse: from the first document, ↑ takes you to the last. A short note confirms it each time you loop back to the start.
The "Next document" button
You don't have to remember the keys. When you reach the bottom of a document's last page, a Next document button appears in the reader, with its keyboard shortcut shown right on it — click it to continue to the next document.

On the very last document, the button reads Back to first document, so it's always clear where it will take you. At the bottom of the document list you'll find a matching Back to first document bar — click it to jump straight back to the top of the list.

Showing hints on the buttons
You don't have to memorise the shortcuts: hold the Alt key and the matching shortcuts appear directly on the buttons. Release Alt and they disappear again.
If you'd rather see the hints all the time, turn on Always show shortcut hints in your personal settings.
Turning shortcuts on or off
Single-key shortcuts such as G and W can be switched off if you prefer to work without them. Open your avatar menu → Personal settings and turn off Enable keyboard shortcuts under Keyboard shortcuts. Arrow-key navigation stays available.
Tip: shortcuts only fire when you're not typing in a text field — so they never get in your way while writing.
