Keyboard shortcuts on the Mac.

Almost everything in Zulu has a shortcut, most of them like Notion Calendar. ? shows the list in the app, ⌘K opens the command menu with every command and the search. Here’s the overview for reference. The app itself is in German for now.

As of:

General

  • ⌘KCommand menu: run commands, search events
  • /Search events (in the context panel)
  • ?Show all shortcuts
  • ⌘,Settings
  • GSSettings (press one after the other)
  • escDiscard or close the panel, close a menu, dismiss the oldest toast

View

  • DDay view (also 1)
  • 2Two days; 3 to 9 accordingly
  • WWeek view (also 0)
  • ⇧⌘.Taller hours
  • ⇧⌘,Shorter hours
  • ⇧⌘0Reset hour height
  • ⇧⌘DShow or hide declined events
  • ⇧⌘UShow or hide travel times
  • ⇧⌘BShow or hide blocker stripes

Weekends and week numbers are toggled through the command menu or the view settings. There is no month view on the Mac; the iPhone has one.

Creating and editing events

  • CNew event starting at the next half hour
  • ↵Save the panel
  • ⌘↵Save the panel, also from the description
  • ⌫Delete the selected event, with undo
  • ⌘ZUndo delete while the toast is showing
  • ⌘CCopy event
  • ⌘XCut event
  • ⌘VPaste: where you clicked in the grid, otherwise at the original time
  • ⌘DDuplicate event

In the description you format like in Google Calendar: ⌘B bold, ⌘I italic, ⌘U underline, ⌘⇧7 numbered list, ⌘⇧8 bullet list, ⌘K link. Links open with ⌘-click.

Mouse and trackpad

  • Double-click an empty spot in the grid for a 30-minute draft, drag for any length.
  • Times round to 15 minutes, to 60 with ⌥, to 5 with ⌃⌥.
  • Tiles can be moved, across days too, and resized at the bottom edge.
  • Right-click a calendar in the sidebar to set its role and the default calendar.
  • Deletion happens only after the undo toast has expired (5 seconds; hovering pauses it).

And on iPhone?

No shortcuts there, but gestures: swipe sideways for the next week, tap a day header for the focus column, long-press an empty spot for a new event, long-press an event to move it, pinch to zoom, double-tap the time column for the whole week. New events you type in quick entry.
