Keyboard shortcuts on macOS

Mastering keyboard shortcuts in Oyma accelerates your knowledge capture and meeting workflow without lifting your hands from the home row. Every command is engineered to follow native macOS conventions.

Table navigation shortcuts

When editing spreadsheet-like tables in Oyma, keyboard traversal operates identically to Numbers or Excel:

• Tab: Move to the next cell. Pressing Tab in the final column creates a new row automatically.
• ⇧Tab: Move to the previous cell.
• Return: Move to the cell directly below.
• Escape: Exit table cell edit mode and select the table block.
