Keyboard shortcuts

This reference describes Deskless 3.0, available for iPhone and iPad; Android 3.0 is in review on Google Play. Earlier versions may use different mappings.

Deskless supports hardware keyboards on phones and tablets. Most shared shortcuts use Command (⌘) on Apple devices and Ctrl on Android. Check the modifier shown in each row: Apple tab switching, Project Tools and completion use Control (⌃). The in-app reference is in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts.
