ZenNotes also exposes Vim-oriented flows in the shared UI.

Important current examples:
88+
89+
- `Export note as PDF` defaults to `Shift+Mod+E`
90+
- `Zoom in` defaults to `Mod+=`
91+
- `Zoom out` defaults to `Mod+-`
92+
- `Reset zoom` defaults to `Mod+0`
93+

These shortcuts are editable from Settings instead of being hard-coded renderer-only behavior.

### Picker navigation
97+
98+
Command-driven pickers use the shared keymap model and also support Vim-style list movement.
99+
100+
In the command palette, search palette, buffer picker, outline picker, and vault text search picker, you can move through results with:
101+
102+
- `ArrowDown`
103+
- `ArrowUp`
104+
- `Ctrl+N`
105+
- `Ctrl+P`
106+
107+
That behavior works in both desktop and browser builds while the picker input is focused.

### PDF export
199+
200+
ZenNotes can export the current note as a PDF.
201+
202+
Behavior depends on runtime:
203+
204+
- desktop saves a PDF directly through the native save flow
205+
- browser opens a print-friendly rendered note view so you can use the browser's `Save as PDF`
206+
207+
PDF export uses the rendered Markdown view rather than raw Markdown source, and the export surface uses a white paper-style background.
