Readwise Reader Keyboard Shortcuts

Readwise Reader Keyboard Shortcuts

Readwise Reader has been out for a while but I couldn't find a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts anywhere. So, I gathered them all into one place here for quick reference.

You need to have an account on Readwise to access Reader. You can sign up for a free trial using this link to get an additional 30 days for free. I do not get anything out of it - just paying forward! 🙏🏻

You can view some of them inside Reader when you press ?. But a lot of them are hidden away in different places and context menus.
