RV has many built-in shortcuts. You can learn about RV’s hotkeys via RV’s Help menu.
From the Utilities section of the Help menu, select “Describe…” or “Describe Key Binding…” to see an explanation within RV of what certain hotkeys do.
Menu items with hotkeys also display the hotkey on the right side of the menu item.
If you’d like to see a list of all of RV’s current key bindings, select “Show Current Bindings” from the Help menu. Below is also a list of RV’s hotkeys (note that capital and lowercase letters are different hotkeys):
