<\/div>\n\nFullscreen Scrivener Shortcuts<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
When you are in fullscreen mode you can bump your cursor (mouse) against the top of the screen and have the standard toolbar fly out (I won’t bother putting a screenshot because you know what that looks like because it’s in the screenshot above.) That said,\u00a0you can also bump your cursor against the bottom of the screen in fullscreen mode, and when you do, Scrivener will give you a toolbar with a bunch of handy options. Here is a screenshot of what the fly-out toolbar looks like when you bump the cursor against the bottom of the screen in fullscreen mode. After the screenshot, I’ll show a matrix of what options the toolbar gives you and their definitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n\nScrivener Keyboard Shortcuts<\/h2>\n
Just as the toolbar helps you not have to navigate the menus to get something done, it’s helpful to know a few shortcuts in Scrivener so that you never have to take your hand off the keyboard to use the mouse.<\/p>\n
The simplest command, and perhaps the most useful\u00a0is the save command. If you want to save your document on a Mac, for example, you press the command key on the keyboard, and while holding that key down, also press the letter “S,” for save. This is represented in the “Shortcut for Mac” column below as “Command key + S.” Note, in some cases, there are three or more keys that must be pressed simultaneously to achieve the action you wish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
