# What keyboard shortcuts does the Junk Yard have?

Four global shortcuts work from any app:

- **Open the Junk Yard** — ⌃⇧J
- **Save clipboard to Junk** — ⌥⇧C
- **New note** — ⌥⇧N
- **Toggle dock position (Top ↔ Right)** — ⌃⇧D

Those are the defaults; change them in Settings → Junk Yard or Settings → Shortcuts. In editors, ⌘B, ⌘I and ⌘U format text and ⇧⌘V pastes without formatting.
