Fablekeep is quick to drive from the keyboard. Press ? anywhere in the DM app to open the Keyboard shortcuts sheet: it lists every shortcut below and has a search box (try “fog”, “take” or “Ctrl”). You can also open it from Help & shortcuts at the bottom of the left rail, or from Settings → Help & tour.
Shortcuts never fire while you are typing in a text box.
