Darkly Docs

Basics

I hate writing documentation, and you probably hate reading it too. So by design, everything is searchable inside the app.

If you have any questions or can’t find what you’re looking for, come talk to us in Discord!

In Darkly, press CTRL+F to bring up the search bar, and type what you want to do, e.g. ‘invert’ or ‘select’. Press enter to execute.


Hotkeys

Darkly is desktop-first which means it works best with a keyboard. Hotkeys are shown everywhere in tooltips and search results.

hotkey-tooltips

hotkey-labels

Hotkey Presets

Almost everything has a hotkey. The first time you start Darkly, you can choose which hotkey preset you want - Photoshop, GIMP, or Krita. You can change this anytime in settings.

Every hotkey is customizable in settings.

Hotkey Cheat Sheet

Darkly has a builtin hotkey cheat sheet, that’s useful for printing or putting up on a second screen.
