  • Arrow keys, Home, and End move through listboxes and menus.
  • Type / in rich content for block commands and @ for graph mentions.
  • Tab in a node mention picker toggles relationship-creation mode.
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Enter submits node creation and feedback where shown.
  • Layout save failure: keep the page open, correct the reported upload or network problem, and wait for autosave to retry before navigating.
  • Unsaved calendar: choose Keep editing when prompted, fix validation errors, then save. Converter output only uses the saved definition.
  • Missing time-aware item: switch to All time or a moment inside its validity interval.
  • Unavailable spatial layout: check the owner node’s validity and the layout’s Follow project mode.
  • Accidental canvas deletion: use Undo immediately. Remember that node placement removal and relationship deletion have different scope.
  • Query results disappeared: run the query again after changing project or time.
