Keyboard shortcuts

These tables give the shortcuts specific to the product, with the place where each one works. In the product, the ? key opens a similar list in the help panel. Lists of choices and windows also follow the usual keyboard conventions, such as the arrows, Enter and Esc.

Good to know

• ? and C do not respond while you type in a field, nor when a window is already open. They do not respond either with Ctrl, Alt or ⌘.
• C does nothing for a Viewer, nor in an archived project.
• With the keyboard, a card’s ⋮ menu and the handle of a backlog row also offer the entries Move up, Move down, Move to top and Move to bottom.
