Below are the factory default shortcuts for the commands in DEVONthink's menus. The main commands, those visible when you open the menu, are listed first. Shortcuts for submenu commands are listed separately. Any alternate commands, e.g., those that are available when holding the `⌥︎` Option key are listed directly after the related command.

This listing uses Apple's standard command key symbols:

- `⌘︎` The Command key, usually next to the space bar.
- `⌥︎` The Option key.
- `⌃︎` The Control key (usually labeled with "ctrl").
- `⇧︎` The Shift key.
- `⎋︎` The Escape key (usually labeled with "esc").
- `⇥︎` The Tab key.
- `↩︎` The Return key.

There are also a few commands using buttons only found on extended keyboards. These are listed by name. However, there are equivalent key combinations available on laptops using the Function key:

Extended Keys:

- Home: Function-Left arrow
- End: Function-Right arrow
- Page Up: Function-Up arrow
- Page Down: Function-Down arrow
