Keybindings
Ctrl is Cmd on macOS throughout. Rebind any of these in VS Code's Keyboard Shortcuts editor (search for "PDF Case Review").
While the PDF editor has focus
| Keys | Command |
|---|---|
Ctrl+Alt+1 … Ctrl+Alt+9 | Highlight the current text selection with the Nth category; with no selection, recolor the highlight selected in the tree (or the last created one). |
Ctrl+Alt+N | Edit the note of the selected highlight in the Note view; with nothing selected, asks where the note should go (the page in view, or a document note). |
Ctrl+Alt+D | Add a document note. |
Ctrl+S | Save through VS Code (sidecar first, then the PDF when allowed). PDF.js's own save is disabled. |
Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y | Undo and redo highlight edits through PDF.js. |
While any PDF Case Review document is active
| Keys | Command |
|---|---|
Ctrl+Alt+R | Generate the report. |
Ctrl+Alt+G | Go to a highlight: jumps straight to the tree's selected highlight, otherwise shows a picker of every highlight. |
Ctrl+Alt+H | Focus the Highlights view. |
Keyboard paths without a binding
Every command is reachable from the Command Palette under the PDF Case Review category, and each one invoked without a selection falls back to the Highlights view's selection or shows a picker. The views themselves are keyboard-navigable: arrow keys move through the Highlights tree (Enter opens a row's target), and the Note view is an ordinary form (the textarea autosaves on input and blur, and saves are announced to screen readers).
