Navigating Your Journal

How to move between dates and entries using the calendar, keyboard shortcuts, and nav buttons.

Calendar

The sidebar shows a monthly calendar. Days that have at least one entry are marked with a dot indicator. Click any date to jump to that day's entries.

Keyboard Navigation

Mini Diarium supports keyboard shortcuts for all navigation actions. On macOS, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.

Action Shortcut
Previous day with an entry Ctrl+[
Next day with an entry Ctrl+]
Go to today Ctrl+T
Go to a specific date Ctrl+G
Previous month Ctrl+Shift+[
Next month Ctrl+Shift+]
Open preferences Ctrl+,

Go to Date

Press Ctrl+G to open the date picker and jump directly to any date. This is the fastest way to navigate to a specific day without scrolling through the calendar month by month.

The app menu under Journal provides Previous Day and Next Day actions that jump only to days that have entries, skipping empty dates. Go to Today takes you back to the current date from anywhere.

Month Navigation

Click the and arrows on the calendar header to move to the previous or next month. The keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+] do the same.
