<p>Swift To-Do List 7 is a great <a href="http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software">notes management tool</a> and is equipped with many useful notes shortcuts. This is a thorough overview of all notes shortcuts and hotkeys that you can use. </p>
<p>These hotkeys work in all notes panels: In the main <a href="http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software">Swift To-Do List</a> window, in the Add/Edit task dialog, in reminders, and of course also in memos. </p>
<p>Please note that not every action has a hotkey assigned (eg. &#8220;Remove Formatting&#8221; or &#8220;Clear Notes&#8221; actions must be used via toolbar):</p>
<div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px"><img src="http://www.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/notes-advanced-menu.png" alt="Notes advanced menu (import, export, print, remove formatting, clear notes)" /></div>
