Shortcuts

Pelton uses Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux for the same bindings. The tables below write Cmd; substitute accordingly.

App

Shortcut Action
Cmd+N Compose a new message
Cmd+F Search
Cmd+R Sync now
Cmd+M Add mailbox
Cmd+, Settings
Cmd+P Export open message as PDF
Cmd+Z Undo the last send, delete or archive
Ctrl+Cmd+F Toggle fullscreen
Cmd+H Hide window (macOS)
Cmd+Q Quit

Message actions

Reply, reply all, forward, mark read or unread, flag, snooze, archive, delete and download-for-offline ship unbound so they cannot collide with anything. Bind them to whatever you like under Settings, Shortcuts; each one acts on the currently open message.

Rebinding

Settings, Shortcuts lists every action with its current combo. Click one and press the new combination to rebind it, including the defaults above. If a combo is already taken, Pelton tells you what it is bound to.

Vim modes

Two independent toggles for keyboard-centric use:

  • App vim mode (Settings, Shortcuts): h/j/k/l style navigation across the message list and panes.
  • Compose vim mode (Settings, Composing): vim keybindings inside the compose editor.
