FAQs
How do I see all shortcuts inside Mem?
Press Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows from anywhere in Mem to open the shortcuts reference panel.
Why is my Mac web shortcut different from desktop?
Some shortcuts conflict with keys that browsers have already claimed — for example, Cmd+N opens a new browser window on Mac, so Mem uses Control+N on Mac web instead. Where this applies, the web version is noted in italics next to the desktop shortcut.
Do keyboard shortcuts work on iOS?
No — keyboard shortcuts are only available on Mac and Windows, for both desktop and web.
The shortcut I expected isn’t working. What should I check?
Make sure you’re on the right tab (Mac vs Windows) and note whether you’re on desktop or web — a few shortcuts differ between them. Some shortcuts are also context-specific: for example, J and K for list navigation only work when you’re browsing the notes list, not inside a note.
