Creating via keystroke

Only normal notes or agents can be created via a keystroke (shortcut):

Note:

• Return key (↩). In most view pane view types except report type views (Attribute Browser, Crosstabs, etc.), pressing Return will add a new note to the document as the next item in sibling/outline order.
• Shift+Return (⇧+↩). In Outline and Chart views, this will result in the new note being created as a child of the currently selected note. If the selected note already has children, it is added as the last child of the container.
• Option+Shift+Return (⇧+↩). In Outline and Chart views, this will result in the new note being created as a child of the currently selected note. If the selected note already has children, it is added as the first child of the container.

Agent:

• Command+Shift+A (⌘+⇧+A). This adds a new agent to the document as the next item in sibling/outline order.
