Keyboard shortcuts in Swiftflip on Mac

Swiftflip on Mac is built around native menu commands, which means most actions have a keyboard shortcut. This page is a quick reference, grouped by where the shortcut lives in the menu bar.

Practice

• Space: flip the current card
• Right arrow: mark the current card correct
• Left arrow: mark the current card incorrect
• ⌘ Z: undo the last grade in the current session
• ⌘ .: end the current practice session (with a confirmation)

File menu

• ⌘ Shift I: import (Anki, CSV or Swiftflip archive)
• ⌘ E: export the current deck or library

These open the standard macOS file panels rather than custom dialogs.

Decks, folders and cards

• ⌘ Shift N: new deck
• ⌘ Ctrl N: new folder
• ⌘ Option N: new smart deck
• ⌘ N: new card in the current deck
• ⌘ I: deck or folder info (counts and stats)
• ⌘ Delete: move the selected deck, folder or card to Recently Deleted
• ⌘ Shift R: Practice All on the selected deck or folder

Insights

• ⌘ 1: switch to the first Insights section
• ⌘ 2: switch to the second Insights section
• ⌘ 3: switch to the third Insights section
• ⌘ R: refresh the current Insights view

Sheets

Editor sheets (cards, decks, folders, smart decks) follow the macOS standard:

• Esc: cancel and close the sheet
• Return: confirm the default action

In the editable card table, double-click a cell to edit it inline. The Front field is automatically focused on a new row.

Why this matters

Keyboard-first workflow is the difference between a Mac app and a phone app blown up. If you build decks on Mac, learning these shortcuts removes most of the friction from card creation and review.
