Liii STEM Keyboard Shortcuts

Welcome to the keyboard shortcuts guide for Mogan. Here we list the available shortcut combinations to help you use the software more efficiently.

The documentation comes from the Liii STEM official website. The shortcut list on the official website is continuously updated, and Mogan usually synchronizes the content in a timely manner, but there may be some delay. Please refer to the official documentation for the most up-to-date information. You can also get the latest PDF version of the shortcut manual on the official website.

Environment Shortcuts

Hint

These shortcuts are used to control the overall environment and formatting settings of the document. This includes basic typesetting functions like spaces, indentation, alignment, chapter titles, lists, etc. Using these shortcuts correctly can help you edit documents more efficiently.

Notes

  1. On Mac, use the Option key instead of the Alt key used on Windows/Linux.
  2. Some shortcuts may conflict with system shortcuts and need to be changed in system settings.
  3. Math formula related shortcuts need to be used within the corresponding math environment.
  4. Table and matrix operation shortcuts only work in the corresponding environments.
  5. It is recommended to memorize frequently used shortcuts to improve editing efficiency.
  6. Shortcuts for paragraph first line indent, right align, center align, left align currently only support Windows.

Common Constructs

Hint

This document lists common shortcuts for entering mathematical formulas in the editor. Press all keys sequentially. Before using these shortcuts, press $ to enter math input mode.
