The importance of shortcuts

The fact that it is very easy to use and quick to work with is not a coincidence. We have designed the entire product based on user feedback from a large number of power users over several years

A key takeaway was to define sensible keyboard shortcuts to use during the editing process. This may seem like a trivial thing, but for the day-to-day users, this is an absolute demand.

Using shortcuts makes you much more efficient at doing certain tasks on your computer. It increases the productivity and allows you to accomplish more tasks by using the keyboard rather than the computer mouse.

As important as speed and efficiency is, there are other benefits as well.

Keyboard use is more accurate in many situations compared to navigating a mouse cursor to the correct place.

Extensive usage of a computer mouse can create health challenges such as R.S.I - Repetitive Syndrome Injury which is less of a problem when a keyboard is used.

The keyboard shortcuts in Vimond IO give you the fastest workflow possible, allowing you to create stories in a more fun and efficient way.

Below is a list of all the shortcuts for Vimond IO.

They can also be found in our user manual which is easily accessible from the user interface in Vimond IO.

Happy editing!
