When to use

Keyboard Shortcuts in Workflowy let you navigate, edit, and reorganize your outline faster - all without taking your hands off the keyboard. Use combos like Alt/Option + →/← to zoom in or out, Alt + Shift + ↑/↓ to move bullets up or down, Ctrl + ? / Cmd + ? to show the full shortcuts list, and many more built‑in commands that make working in deep, nested lists feel effortless. (You can also enable the shortcut panel under Settings.)

Note: If two keys are separated by a slash, the first key is for Windows, the second one if for Mac - win/mac
