The post editor has shortcuts for the things you do on every post. On Windows and Linux use Ctrl; on a Mac use Cmd.
| Shortcut | Does |
|---|---|
Ctrl / Cmd + S | Schedule the post |
Ctrl / Cmd + L | Open Labels |
Ctrl / Cmd + J | Open Notes |
/ | Open the block and AI menu in the caption |
Ctrl / Cmd + Z | Undo |
Esc | Close the open panel |
The slash menu
Typing / in the caption opens the same menu as the + button beside it — the AI actions, and anything you can insert. It’s the fastest route to a blank-page AI action or an upload.
/ is typed into the caption like any other character, so it replaces whatever you have selected. To act on a selection, use the + button instead — it keeps the selection, which is what switches the menu’s AI section to the rewrite actions.
The block menu. With nothing selected it offers the AI actions that write from scratch, each costing 1 credit.
See Edit a caption with AI for what those actions do.
Labels and notes
Ctrl/Cmd + L and Ctrl/Cmd + J open the two panels people use most while drafting — categorising the post, and leaving a note for whoever picks it up next. Esc closes either.
Cmd/Ctrl + L opens Labels without reaching for the toolbar.
Both are per post and internal. See Labels and The post editor.
Schedule with the keyboard
Ctrl/Cmd + S opens the schedule step rather than saving silently, so you still confirm the date and time. It’s the quickest way to finish a post you’ve just written.
It won’t work on a post that’s locked — published, generating, or inside the two-minute publish window.
