Keyboard and Compact mode
Wodo is built keyboard-first: everything works with a mouse, but the keyboard is usually faster. Press ? in the app any time for this list.

Compact mode
Once you know the tool, the explanations start costing you screen. Compact mode (⌘⇧E) is the same Wodo with the training wheels removed:
- The sidebar collapses to icons; buttons drop their text labels.
- Rows tighten, paddings shrink, section headers go.
- The editor toolbar disappears — formatting via keyboard and
/commands. - Onboarding hints stop appearing entirely.
The timeline changes character most. In standard mode every item has its own row, with the hierarchy tree in a left rail — generous and readable. In Compact mode, items that don't overlap in time share a row, packed tight. The same quarter that needed scrolling now fits on one screen.
It's a mode, not a setting buried in an admin panel — toggle it per person, whenever. Some people live in Compact; some toggle it for planning sessions and back for everyday work.
