Hi,
I don’t know if anyone cares about this, or if it’s been discussed already, but here we go.
I know that Finder app allows keyboard shortcut cmd+d to duplicate a file, which I use a lot. I have muscle memory that serves me well on this one.
I know that Bear has a keyboard shortcut control+d (menu Note→Duplicate) to duplicate a note.
It seems to make more sense to me to follow the standard keys cmd+d to duplicate the note, instead of the non-standard control+d.
Thanks for listening,
Paul
I’m confused. I’m using the same version of Bear Version 2.5.1 (13605) on Mac Studio and MacBook Pro but just the MacBook has a keyboard shortcut to duplicate a note..
Mac Studio menu “Note->Duplicate” — no keyboard shortcut, control+d emits a beep.
MacBook Pro menu “Note->Duplicate” — control+d keyboard shortcut, duplicates note.
How’s it possible that there’s no keyboard shortcut on Mac Studio, but there is one for MacBook Pro? I have a note selected on both computers.
All advice welcome.
There isn’t a shortcut associated with the duplicate functionality, but you can assign a custom one on macOS. Customise Mac shortcuts
Suggestion: Make ⌘D context-aware—Duplicate when the note list is focused; keep ⌘D = Wiki Link in the editor. As a fallback (or for users who prefer it), ship ⇧⌘D = Duplicate globally, mirroring Finder/Notes muscle memory while preserving Bear’s wiki-link flow.
