Navigating between cells

You can navigate between cell inputs using the arrow keys: when your cursor is at the beginning or end of a cell, you can use additional arrow key presses to navigate to the next or previous cell.

You can also use fn↑ and fn↓ (on Mac) or Page Up and Page Down to jump between cells directly.

Keyboard-only navigation

Pluto can be used in keyboard-only mode, using tabbing navigation. Use Tab to move focus to the next element. Inside the code editor press Esc first, then Tab, because Tab alone indents your code. Use ShiftTab to move focus back.

Keyboard-only navigation is important for accessibility, so if you find a UI element that has poor keyboard access, please let us know!
