The Keyboard Shortcuts section in Settings lists every shortcut and lets you rebind any of them. Click a shortcut row, press your desired key combination, and it is saved immediately.
Click Reset next to a shortcut to restore its default. Click Reset all shortcuts to restore all defaults at once.
Drag toolbar buttons to reorder them. Toggle the visibility of individual buttons with the checkboxes in the Toolbar section.
The workspace defines which directories are searched in Workspace Search, shown in the Sidebar file list, and scanned for cross-file TODOs and Backlinks.
Click Settings → Workspace → Configure… to open the workspace path builder.
You can add multiple root directories:
- Home directory — always included; the primary org directory Epicorg is serving
- Additional roots — any other directories on your machine you want to include
Each root can be given a label (e.g. "Work", "Personal") that appears in search results to identify which root a result came from.
The sidebar has two sections:
Lists all .org files in the home directory. Subdirectories are shown with their files nested. Click a file to open it.
Lists your pinned workspace search queries. An empty-state hint is shown when no searches have been saved yet, so the feature is always discoverable.
The detail pane (right side) shows the following for the focused node:
- Title — read-only display of the node's formatted title
- Status — click to cycle TODO / NEXT / DONE / CANCELLED
- Priority — A, B, or C
- Tags — edit tags inline
- Scheduled — date picker for the planned work date
- Deadline — date picker for the due date
-
Properties — key-value table; add custom fields with the
+button - Linked References — backlinks from other files (expanded by default)
- Unlinked Mentions — plain-text mentions without a formal link (expanded by default)
Toggle the detail pane with the detail icon in the header or Ctrl+Shift+D.
