JumpTo

Navigate to a node or saved search by name, or jump there with a custom text shortcut.

View as Markdown

JumpTo gives a quick way to navigate around your outline, without opening the sidebar or remembering where something lives. Use it when you know a node’s name, want to reopen a starred location, or have assigned a short text code to a frequent destination.

Open JumpTo

Press Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on Mac to open JumpTo. Start typing the name of a node, then select the matching result.

Starred nodes and searches appear first in the results. If you visit something regularly and want it visible as well as searchable, see Star nodes and searches.

Create a shortcut from JumpTo

A JumpTo shortcut is a custom text code, such as wm for “Weekly meeting” or rd for “Reading list.” Entering the code in JumpTo takes you directly to its node.

  1. Open JumpTo
  2. Search for the node you want
  3. Hover over the matching result and select Add Shortcut
  4. Enter a short, memorable code
  5. Press Enter

Create a shortcut with a slash command

  1. Place your cursor in the node you want to use as a destination
  2. Type /shortcut
  3. Enter the shortcut code
  4. Press Enter

A search shortcut reruns the search whenever you enter its code in JumpTo.

  1. Run the search you want to save
  2. Select the shortcut button in the search box
  3. Enter a shortcut code
  4. Press Enter

Use shortcuts as destinations

Workflowy shortcuts can also identify destinations in features such as Email to Workflowy and Web Clipper. Use clear, distinctive codes so they are easy to recognize and unlikely to conflict with node names.

JumpTo or starring

Use JumpTo when you prefer to navigate by typing a name or code. Star something when you want it permanently visible in the sidebar. You can use both for the same node or search.
