Budget Bandit is built to run from the keyboard. Press ? anywhere to see the full list in the app at any time. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever this page shows ⌘.

​
The command palette

Press ⌘S to open the command palette. From there you can search everything, jump to any page, and type plain-language commands like “move $50 from dining to groceries.” It is the fastest way to get anywhere. Use “G then a letter” to jump between the main pages. Press G, release it, then press the second key.
