Keyboard shortcuts

You can do almost everything in Koona Pin without the mouse. This page lists every shortcut, grouped by where it works.

Ctrl⌘ is Ctrl on Windows and Linux and ⌘ on a Mac; Alt⌥ is Option (⌥) on a Mac. Letter keys are plain letters: press J, not ShiftJ⇧J. In Inbox triage, reading mode and Feeds they also work by the key’s place on the keyboard, so J still works on a Russian layout, where that key types “о”.

Letter keys and arrows do nothing while you type in a field.

Tip: Hover over a button to see its key in the hint.

Everywhere#

Key	What it does
CtrlK⌘K	Opens the library and puts the cursor in the search field. Not in reading mode.
CtrlN⌘N	Opens New link. Does nothing while another dialog is open.
CtrlZ⌘Z	Undoes your last action, for example moving a link to the Trash. In a text field it undoes typing instead. Does nothing while a dialog, a menu or the bookmark editor is open.
CtrlV⌘V	In the library, with a web address on the clipboard, saves that link at once. Not in a text field, and not while a dialog, a menu, Inbox triage, reading mode or the editor is open.
CtrlQ⌘Q	Quits Koona Pin completely.
Esc	Closes the open dialog, menu, panel or the bell’s notification list.

Library and selection#

Click a link to select it. CtrlClick⌘Click adds or removes one, and ShiftClick⇧Click selects everything from the last link you clicked to this one. Dragging from an empty place draws a frame that selects every link it touches; a click on an empty place clears the selection.

Key	What it does
←, →, ↑, ↓	Move the selection to the next link. In the list view only ↑ and ↓ move. Works from the list, not from the sidebar, the toolbar or a field.
ShiftArrow keys⇧Arrow keys	Extends the selection to the link the arrow reaches, as ShiftClick⇧Click does.
CtrlA⌘A	Selects every link the list shows, including those not loaded yet.
Esc	Clears the selection. In the search field, Esc first clears the query, then leaves the field.
Space	Opens the selected link (or the focused card) in a reading sheet over the library. With several selected, ↑ and ↓ move between them; Esc closes the sheet. Not in the Trash.
EnterReturn	On a focused card or row, opens the link the way Open links in Settings says: in the browser or in reading mode. A double-click does the same.
R	Sends the selected links to Reading, or takes them out when you are looking at Reading. Not in the Trash.
Del⌫	Moves the selected links to the Trash. In the Trash, asks whether to delete them for good. On a Mac, ⌘⌫ works too.
Esc (while dragging)	Cancels the drag.

Menus#

A card’s menu opens with a right-click, the Menu key, or ShiftF10⇧F10 on a focused card. In any menu:

Key	What it does
↑, ↓	Move between items. Home and End jump to the first and last.
EnterReturn	Chooses the highlighted item.
→	Opens a submenu. ← or Esc closes it.
Esc	Closes the menu.

Items of the card menu show their key on the right. While the menu is open, pressing the key chooses the item:

Key	Item
CtrlC⌘C	Copy link
E	Edit…
F	Add to favorites or Remove from favorites
R	Send to Reading or Remove from Reading
O	Save for offline or Remove offline copy
Del	Move to trash; in the Trash, Delete forever…. On a Mac keyboard without a Del key, press fn and ⌫.
1 to 9	In Move to collection, and in Move to… on the selection bar: the collection with that number.

Sidebar and fields#

Key	What it does
Alt↑⌥↑, Alt↓⌥↓	Move the focused collection up or down in the sidebar.
EnterReturn	In the name field of a new collection made from the selection, creates it and moves the links in. Esc cancels.
EnterReturn or ,	In the tag field of New link or the bookmark editor, adds the tag you typed. With the field empty, Backspace⌫ removes the last tag.
↑, ↓	In the Tag field of the selection bar, move through the tag suggestions. Esc closes the field, here and in triage.
CtrlEnter⌘Return	Saves the bookmark editor, or sends the feedback message.
Esc	Closes the bookmark editor.
←, →	In a row of choices, such as Theme in Settings, move to the next choice.
↑, ↓, Home, End	In the bell’s notification list, move between items.

The bundle#

Key	What it does
F6	Moves the focus between the open bundle panel and the library.
Del⌫	On a focused row of the bundle, takes it out of the bundle.
Esc	Closes the bundle panel while the focus is in it.

Inbox triage#

These keys work in Sort inbox. They are shown under the card, and the numbers on the collection buttons.

Key	What it does
→ or EnterReturn	Keep the link.
←	Move to trash.
1 to 9	Files the link in the collection with that number. When there is a suggestion, 1 is the suggested one.
F	Adds the link to Favorites, or takes it off.
T	Opens the Tag… field. Type a tag and press EnterReturn.
E	Edits the link.
Space	Opens the page in your browser.
Z or CtrlZ⌘Z	Undoes the last decision.
Esc	Finishes and goes back.

When the inbox is sorted, EnterReturn takes you to the library.

Backspace⌫ or Del	Takes the article out of Reading, when it is in Reading. CtrlZ⌘Z brings it back.

Tab	From the queue, moves to the article. ShiftTab⇧Tab goes back to the queue.
↑, ↓, Home, End	In the queue, move to another article.
Space, ↑, ↓	Scroll the article when it has the focus.

In the Aa panel, ← and → move between the options of a row, and Esc closes the panel.

Feeds#

Key	What it does
J or ↓	Next post.
K or ↑	Previous post. When the article has the focus, the arrows scroll it, and only J and K change the post.
EnterReturn or Space	Moves the focus into the open post, so the arrows scroll it. With no post open, opens the first.
Esc	From the article, goes back to the list. In the feeds search field, clears the search, then closes it.

Change the extension’s shortcuts#

Open the extension’s settings and find Keyboard shortcut.

• Chrome and Edge: click Change in Chrome (or Change in Edge) and set the keys on the browser’s own shortcuts page.
• Firefox: click Change, then press the new keys. A shortcut needs Ctrl or Alt, not both, with a letter, a digit or F1 to F12. If Firefox refuses the keys, it says so; try another combination.
• Safari: the shortcuts can’t be changed, because Safari has no page for them.
