NimbleCal is built to be fast from the keyboard.

If you ever forget a shortcut, you can open the shortcuts list in the app on desktop and other keyboard-first platforms (it's always up to date):

• Show keyboard shortcuts: Shift + ?

On touch-first mobile platforms, NimbleCal hides the in-app shortcut badges and menu entry to keep the interface focused on tap targets. If you connect a hardware keyboard, most shortcuts still work and you can still press Shift + ? to open the shortcuts list.
