Use the keyboard shortcuts
Open pages, move in a list and open, edit and create items in your base without the mouse, and see when the keys do nothing.
The keyboard shortcuts of a base open pages, move in a list and open, edit and create items without the mouse. Press ? on any page of a base to see them all.
These keyboard shortcuts work on every page of a base:
- g, then h: opens the home page.
- g, then i: opens the Inbox, when your rail shows it.
- g, then c: opens Chat, when your rail shows it.
- g, then s: opens Settings.
- /: opens search (Find items with search and filters).
- ?: shows all the keys.
- Tab, on a page you just opened: the first stop is Skip to the page. Enter moves you to the page's content, past the rail and the sidebar.
- Escape: closes the assistant, and puts you back on its button at the top. On a phone, where the assistant covers the page, Tab stays inside it.
- c: on a list, or on one of its items, opens the list's new form, when your role may add an item there.
These keyboard shortcuts work in a list of a base, such as Orders or the Inbox:
- j and k: move to the next item and the previous item.
- Enter: opens the item you moved to. In the Inbox, it does what a click on the entry does.
- e: opens the edit form of the item you moved to, when your role may change it. On an item's page, e opens its edit form too.
The keyboard shortcuts of a base do nothing in these cases, or work only in some lists:
- After g, press the second letter in about one second; another key, or no key, cancels it.
- A key does nothing when your role cannot open its page, add the item or change it.
- j, k, Enter and e work in a table's list shown as a grid, and in the Inbox. A board, a calendar and a chart keep their own keys (Make a table and its fields), and c works in all of them.
- The keys do nothing while you type in a box or a field, while a cell of a grid is open, while a dialog, a menu or search is open, or while you hold Ctrl, Alt or ⌘. There the letters type as usual.
