Tip
Mod +F finds inside whatever you are looking at: the text of
a document in the editor, and the nodes or beats of a mindmap or an outline on
those surfaces. On a canvas the matches stay lit and everything else dims, and
the arrows beside the box step through them in the order the story runs.

These work wherever a page is listed — sidebar items, page links inside a document, search, the Library, relationships and cards. In the project database, where Ctrl+Click selects rows, use the menu under a row’s icon. Inside a document and in search, ⌘ Cmd works in place of Ctrl on macOS.
