Keyboard Shortcuts

Using keyboard shortcuts is the fastest way to interact with the Incremental Everything plugin. This page provides a reference for all the shortcuts added by the plugin, as well as native RemNote shortcuts that are essential to the workflow.


Plugin Shortcuts

This table lists all the custom keyboard shortcuts that are unique to the Incremental Everything plugin.

Core Commands

Shortcut Command Name Function Context
Alt + X Make Incremental (Extract) Tags the currently focused Rem as "Incremental". Performs a **[[Text Extract Reviewing-Items-in-the-Editor#extracting-text]]** if text is selected. If triggered in the queue on a flashcard with no text selected, it intelligently converts that specific flashcard to an Incremental Rem natively.
Alt + Shift + X Extract with Priority Tags as "Incremental" and opens the Priority & Interval popup. Performs a **[[Text Extract Reviewing-Items-in-the-Editor#extracting-text]]** if text is selected. If triggered in the queue on a flashcard with no text selected, it smartly converts the flashcard to an Incremental Rem and opens the Priority popup.
Alt + Z Create Cloze Deletion Applies **[[Cloze Deletion Reviewing-Items-in-the-Editor#creating-clozes]]** formatting to the selected text.
Alt + Shift + Z Create Cloze Deletion with Priority Same as above, then opens the **[[Light Priority popup Prioritization-&-Sorting#set-priority-popup]]** to set a Card Priority for the new cloze Rem.
Ctrl + J Reschedule Incremental Rem Opens the Reschedule popup to set a custom next review date and priority. (On macOS: also Ctrl+J, not Cmd+J) Editor and Queue
Ctrl + Shift + J Execute Incremental Rem Repetition Opens a popup to register a review directly in the Editor (with manual time entry or timer mode). When in the queue, it opens the IncRem in the Editor (greater flexibility and editing power), and starts the Editor Review Timer; when the processing is finished, it open the queue document again, so the user can continue the queue. Editor and Queue
Ctrl + F7 Set Read Point (Bookmark) Marks the focused descendant rem as the current reading position of a Rem-type Incremental Rem (resolved from the active review session or nearest ancestor IncRem). The rem-type analogue of a PDF/HTML highlight bookmark. Editor and Queue
Ctrl + Shift + F7 View Read Points (History) Opens the Read Points popup with the read-point history for the current Rem-type IncRem; click an entry to jump to that descendant. Editor and Queue

Queue Navigation

Shortcut Command Name Function Context
Cmd + (Mac) / Ctrl + (Win) Next Item in Queue Marks the current Incremental Rem as reviewed, calculates the next interval, and advances to the next item. Same as the "Next" button. Queue Only
Ctrl + D Dismiss Incremental Rem Permanently finishes the item by transferring its history to the Dismissed state and removing the Incremental power-up. Same as the "Dismiss" button. Editor and Queue
Ctrl + Shift + J Review & Open Reviews the item (rescheduling it), opens it in the editor, and starts the Editor Review Timer. When the processing is finished, it open the queue document again, so the user can continue the queue. Editor and Queue
Queue Shortcuts

Priority Commands

Shortcut Command Name Function Context
Alt + P Set Priority Opens the full Priority popup with analytics, inheritance info, and scope navigation. Editor and Queue
Ctrl + Opt + P Quick Set Priority Opens the Light Priority popup for fast priority adjustments without heavy stats. Editor and Queue
Ctrl + Opt + Quick Increase Priority Number Increases priority number by step size (default 10), making item less important. Editor and Queue
Ctrl + Opt + Quick Decrease Priority Number Decreases priority number by step size (default 10), making item more important. Editor and Queue

Batch Operations

Shortcut Command Name Function Context
Alt + Shift + R Create Priority Review Document Creates a review document with IncRems and cards sorted by priority. Editor Only
(n/a) Batch Priority Change (IncRems & Flashcards) Opens popup to change priorities of Incremental Rems and Flashcards in bulk (Increase, Decrease, Spread evenly, Adjust proportionally). Access via Command Palette or Document Menu. Editor Only
Alt + Shift + C Batch Assign Card Priority Opens popup to assign card priorities in bulk for all flashcards tagged with the focused Rem. Editor Only

View & Navigation

Shortcut Command Name Function Context
Alt + Shift + I Open Incremental Rems Main View Opens the main view popup showing all Incremental Rems with filtering and sorting. Global
Ctrl + Shift + H Open IncRem Repetition History Opens the Single History view for individual items or Aggregated History view for folders with incremental descendants. Editor and Queue
Ctrl + Shift + I Toggle Ignore Tag Adds/removes the #ignore tag on the focused Rem or a multi-rem selection (run from the Omnibar). Ignored rems are shrunk and dimmed (full opacity on hover/focus) and the tag chip is hidden — used during IR to mark already-read snippets that don't deserve becoming Incremental. Editor Only

Editing Utilities

Shortcut Command Name Function Context
Shift + F8 Bulletize Inline Selected Text Toggles a prefix on each line of a multi-line selection within a single rem. Restores bullets that a PDF highlight flattened into soft-wrapped text; a collapsed cursor bulletizes the whole rem. (Uses Shift+F8 because Opt+Shift+8 types ° on macOS and Ctrl+Opt+Shift+8 is RemNote's blue-highlight shortcut.) Editor Only
Alt + Shift + F Find Rem — Reference or Open Floating picker that finds Rems RemNote's [[ search can't surface (all-common-word names). Enter/click inserts a reference at the cursor (cloze-aware, accent-insensitive); Ctrl/Cmd+Enter inserts it as a pin (no text); Opt/Alt+Enter inserts the Rem's text then a pin ("Text with Pin", preserving formatting/images); Shift+Enter/Shift+click opens the Rem in a new pane. Editor Only
Shift + F3 Text Case Converter Cycles the selection through Title CaseUPPERCASElowercase, auto-detecting the current case. Rich-text safe; also works on multi-rem selections. Editor Only

No default shortcut (run by quick code or from the Omnibar). The list-from-PDF-highlight commands ship unbound to avoid conflicts — invoke them by quick code: inl (Inlinize Detected List), brl (Break Inline List Into Children), and rlr (Restore List Rem). They act on the focused rem (no selection needed). Assign your own bindings in RemNote's keyboard-shortcut settings if you use them often.


Important Native RemNote Shortcuts

While not part of the plugin itself, these native RemNote shortcuts are crucial for an efficient incremental learning workflow.

Shortcut Name Function Context
P Open in Previewer Opens the current incremental Rem in a popup editor for quick edits. Queue Only
G Go to Rem Exits the queue and navigates to the current Rem in the main editor. Note: This does not register your review of the card. For that, use the "Review & Open" button. Queue Only

macOS Notes

  • Shortcuts using Alt on Windows/Linux correspond to Opt (Option) on macOS.
  • Shortcuts using Ctrl remain Ctrl on macOS (not Cmd/).
  • Example: Ctrl+J on macOS is ⌃+J, not ⌘+J.
