Keyboard Shortcuts
If you use OmniPlan with an external keyboard connected to your device, you can take advantage of the app’s built in keyboard shortcuts for many common tasks.
Anywhere in the app, press and hold the Command (⌘) key on your connected keyboard to view a list of available shortcuts. There are some shortcuts that work no matter where you are, while others are specific to your current view. Some locations may have more than one overlay screen’s-worth of shortcuts available; in that case, browse between pages by swiping left or right with the Command key held down.
Note that this list is intended as a complete reference and includes some shortcuts that are not listed in the app.
These shortcuts are available in OmniPlan on all devices; however, only iPad offers the overlay.
