# Shortcuts

Shortcuts are an awesome way to level up your Cut-It experience. All Emphasis levels, formatting utilities, AutoCut options, and more can be fully controlled from shortcuts. We ship Cut-It with these predefined as follows:

* `Ctrl+S` to invoke Primary Emphasis
* `Ctrl+Shift+S` to invoke Secondary Emphasis
* `Ctrl+Alt+S` to invoke Tertiary Emphasis
* `Ctrl+K` to Clear Selection Formatting
* `Alt+M` to invoke Minimize Selection
* `Ctrl+N` to Cut a New Card
* `Ctrl+D` to invoke AutoPoll
* `Ctrl+Shift+D` to invoke AutoCite
* `Ctrl+Alt+D` to invoke AutoPoll and AutoCite
* `Ctrl+P` to invoke Export to PDF
* `Ctrl+W` to close the app

## :keyboard: Viewing and Recording Shortcuts

You can check what any shortcut is currently defined as by selecting it from the dropdown and viewing the output. 

To record a new shortcut, click the output box (it should receive a blue border) and type in any key combination. The changes will apply on the next restart.

## :confused: There's... more?

Yes, but no. Nothing in the Miscellaneous section will make using Cut-It faster for you, **but everything in the section will make using Cut-It better for you**.
