Iād love to have āGo to the root of the whole documentā. IE the beginning of the highest node in the document.
Interesting, first time Iāve heard about this one. Whatās your use case for this?
Can I say that one use would be when wanting to search the document. If you are zoomed in, currently you need to find a way to quickly zoom out to the top in order to do a full document search.
Not sure I understand what you mean. Are you replying to @Nicholas_Mapstoneās comment?
Yes, another case for this āgo to root of documentā shortcut is when needing to navigate to another section of the document, especially after having zoomed in.

Got it, that makes more sense when read in combination with his comment. Thanks for the explanation!
Yes, what he said.
Itās all about orientation. When Iām down in a subtree somewhere I often have no real idea where I am (I know I can look at the tree at the top of the page, but that involves thinking about it). With a 1 click move to the top node of a document Iām suddenly back somewhere rock solid and know exactly how to do whatever I want from there.

Insert Link.
Some apps just ctrl K, which automatically inserts []() and moves the cursor in between the brackets.

Alt+C does not toggle completed items in Firefox 70 on Windows. Whereas Ctrl+O in Workflowy does and it helps greatly, because I can focus on content with both hands without reaching for the mouse (to click on EYE icon) every now and then. Erica, would you mind adding proper keyboard shortcut as well?
That was from 2 years ago.
This is the newest info on Dynalist shortcuts:
Thereās no longer a built-in shortcut for toggling the visibility of checked items, but you can customize it.
Shortcut customization is available for paid users only, right?
So I am unable to do that, because Iām trying out Dynalist as a free user.
Please, add some shortcut to toggle completed items available for all users.
Alt+C was interfering with people who use keyboard layouts like German keyboards. You can refer to this blog post for more info: https://blog.dynalist.io/shortcut-changes/
Itās fine that youāre using all the features for free, but unfortunately we canāt accommodate everyone. Itās not sustainable that way either.
For now, itās possible to toggle checked items in the free version, it just takes more steps, which I think is fair. Also, if I remember correctly this is the first time weāve heard this request after removing it, so unfortunately I donāt think itās a popular request despite you would find it useful. Sorry!
If youād like to try out Dynalist Pro, weāre happy to provide a free trial and you can see for yourself if the time saving and productivity boost is worth the price.
June, 2020. Still using Workflowy instead of Dynalist because developers like Erica still do not grasp which features any decent outliner should have out of the box for free. What is an outliner in its core? Hierarchy of bullets and lines, crossed out and not. So switching between states (completed, not completed) is a crucial thing. Workflowy grasped that from the day one and introduced Ctrl+O shortcut which works for the most layouts and browsers from the day one, whereas Dynalist provides bunch of shortcuts for bells & whistles like color labeling, but neglects to fulfill one of the basic expectations which is switching states via keyboard.
I think ābells & whistlesā is a relative value. Colour labelling is critical for me. It gives me an immediate visual cue to the state of an item (critical, active, waiting, future, etc.). This is one feature that offers a clear advantage to others such as Workflowy and Roam. Itās why Dynalist is a well-made platform for everyday knowledge work.

I see your point, which is fair, and it does sound like WorkFlowy is a better tool for you. Doesnāt sound like Dynalist is made for you if you think all the additional features are bells and whistles, so I would suggest sticking with WorkFlowy. Although weād certain like people to try out Dynalist, we respect that people each have their own use cases and thereās no single tool that satisfies everyone 
Would really appreciate it if you could open a new feature request thread to continue the conversation if youād like. Note that the original post is for Pro users to suggest what actions theyād like as new custom shortcuts, not adding a default to an existing shortcut. Thanks for understanding!

For record only.
Side request made for Backlinks Toggle:

I really love this go to child idea.
Itās also good to have āExportā shortcut, currently we need to use mouse to open menu and select export, itās better to allow us create a shortcut for it.
A āFindā that searches the whole document. In otherwords, you can be drilled down to a deep node, hit the hotkey, and it filters the very top node. I rarely want to filter a deep node, so itās frustrating to always hit the āup to parentā hotkey over and over before searching.
Alternatively, if you let us chain a sequence of hotkey commands under a single hotkey press, I would be able to solve my issue myself, and we could create a lot of new, powerful hotkeys for ourselves.
Edit: just noticed this is a OLD thread. Who bumped this lol.
Iāve found this old thread searching for a quick way to show/hide images. Is there a hope that āToggle image preview/inlineā would ever get a shortcut?
