Keyboard shortcuts

Mudlark is designed to keep your hands on the keyboard. These are the default shortcuts. Most can be customized in Settings › Shortcuts. If you assign a chord that’s already in use, the row stages the capture and shows Already used by <action> with Reassign and Cancel buttons. The previous owner keeps the chord until you confirm.

Tab behavior depends on context. Inside a list, Tab indents the line. Inside a table, Tab moves to the next cell. Inside a code block or a &&tsv table body, Tab inserts a literal tab character.

Save as PDF is in the File menu and ships with no default shortcut. Assign one in Settings › Shortcuts.
