Keyboard Shortcuts
Virtual Tikkun supports keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation and mode switching. These shortcuts let you move through the Torah and switch between application modes without reaching for the mouse.
Mode Switching
Switch between the application's six modes instantly from anywhere in the app:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + 1 | Switch to Browse mode |
| Ctrl + 2 | Switch to Study mode |
| Ctrl + 3 | Switch to Teach mode |
| Ctrl + 4 | Switch to Community mode |
| Ctrl + 5 | Switch to Resources mode |
Browse Mode Navigation
Navigate through Torah scroll columns while in Browse mode:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ← Left Arrow | Next column (forward — Hebrew reads right to left) |
| → Right Arrow | Previous column (backward) |
Study Mode Navigation
Navigate through verses and cycle view modes while studying in Study mode:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ← Left Arrow | Next verse |
| → Right Arrow | Previous verse |
| ↑ Up Arrow | Cycle view mode forward (Torah → Chumash → Tikkun) |
| ↓ Down Arrow | Cycle view mode backward |
Tip: In Browse mode, think of the Left arrow as "forward" — it moves in the reading direction of Hebrew text (right to left), which means advancing to the next column.
