Keyboard

Shortcuts

Open any app from the keys, and undo, copy and paste without touching the screen.

Open apps with Quick open

Quick open lets you open an app from anywhere with two keys. Give the app a letter, then hold Fn and press that letter.

You can also press Fn and let go, then press the letter within 1 second. This is easier with one hand.

Turn on Quick open

Open Shortcuts and turn on Quick open. If you see Finish setup, select it first: Quick open needs Atlas turned on in Accessibility so it can start apps.

Give an app a letter

  1. In Shortcuts, select Apps.
  2. Touch the app.
  3. Press the letter you want.

Each letter can open one app. To move a letter to a different app, first touch the app that has it and press Backspace to remove it.

Apps open with the normal Android animation. To open them instantly, turn off Animation in Shortcuts.

Edit text with actions

Hold Alt and press a key to edit text without touching the screen:

Keys Action
Alt and Z Undo
Alt and Y Redo
Alt and A Select all
Alt and C Copy
Alt and X Cut
Alt and V Paste
Alt and Backspace Delete a word

Only Delete a word is on at the start, so Alt and a letter still type symbols. To turn on the actions you want, open Shortcuts and select Keys.

When an action is off, Alt and that key type a symbol as normal. Actions need Atlas to be your keyboard.
