# Keyboard shortcuts
On a computer, the keyboard does most of what the buttons do. This page lists the keys.
To see the keys in the app, press ?, or select **Keyboard shortcuts** at the end of the ⋮ menu. You can also type *shortcuts* in [the search](/en/search).
## Everywhere
These keys work on every page when you are signed in.
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl K | Opens or closes the search. On a Mac, press ⌘ K. |
| ? | Opens or closes the list of keys. |
| Esc | Closes a menu, the search or an enlarged image. Some windows close only with their cross. |
## While you answer
These keys work in a session and in a playlist. In Memorix, all of them work except the arrows.
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| A to E | Ticks or unticks the option with that letter. |
| 1 to 9 | Ticks or unticks the 1st to the 9th option. |
| Space | Checks your answer. |
| ← | Goes to the previous question. |
| → | Goes to the next question. |
The digits work on an AZERTY keyboard with or without Shift. The arrows do what the buttons do, so they also follow **Next unanswered** if you chose it.
## In an enlarged image
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| ← | Shows the previous image. |
| → | Shows the next image. |
| Esc | Closes the image. |
## In the search
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| ↑ and ↓ | Move the highlight between the rows. |
| Enter | Opens the highlighted row. |
| Tab | Shows what a year or a module holds. |
| Backspace | Goes up one level, if the field is empty. |
| Del | Removes the highlighted row from **Recent**, if the field is empty. |
| Esc | Closes the search. |
## In a note
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl Enter | Sends the note. On a Mac, press ⌘ Enter. |
## In Memorix and the Notebook
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Rate a Memorix card, after you check it. |
| ← and → | Turn the pages of a book in the Notebook. |
## When a key does nothing
- The answer keys do nothing while you type in a field or in a note.
- They do nothing while a window or a menu is open.
- They ignore a key that you press with Ctrl, so Ctrl C still copies.
## Move with Tab
Tab moves between the letters and the buttons. Space or Enter then presses the one that you are on.
