Shortcuts

Breveto's customizable shortcuts let you format your documents blazingly fast! Breveto also lets you customize most of its keyboard shortcuts letting you tailor the app to your own preferences. Plus, if you're switching from another writing app, you can easily migrate your preferred shortcuts to Breveto so you don't need to re-learn them.

Customizing Shortcuts

You can customize shortcuts in Breveto's settings. To change a shortcut, click on the shortcut then type the new one to record it. Or, choose a preset from the dropdown. Breveto comes with presets for all major writing apps, if you prefer the shortcuts of one to the other. Careful, choosing a preset will reset all of your existing shortcuts!
