Notion Shortcuts

If you spend a lot of time in Notion (like me), it's worth knowing your way around the keyboard. Since so much of Notion's functionality is packed in the '/' command, learning your shortcuts can significantly speed up how you move around and create things in your workspace.

In this component, you'll get a grouped table with all of Notion's shortcut commands--along with a description of what each does (and sometimes in which context!).

Notion Shortcuts Cheat Sheet

Here are some of the most commonly used shortcuts in Notion:

Shortcut Description
cmd/ctrl + N Create a new page (desktop apps only)
cmd/ctrl + shift + N Open a new Notion window (desktop apps only)
cmd/ctrl + P Open search or jump to a recently viewed page
cmd/ctrl + [ Go back a page
cmd/ctrl + ] Go forward a page
cmd + shift + K or ctrl + K Go to the previous database page in database peek view
cmd + shift + J or ctrl + J Go to the next database page in database peek view
cmd/ctrl + shift + L Toggle between dark mode and light mode

You can also use shortcut keys to format your text:

~ Strikethrough text

You can also create lists and headings using the following shortcuts:

Shortcut Description

# followed by space Create an H1 heading
## followed by space Create an H2 sub-heading
