Keyboard shortcuts

Press ? anywhere to open the cheat sheet

Move around the CRM without taking your hands off the keyboard. Shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a text field, search box, or note editor, so they never interfere with normal input. Press ? at any time for the in-app cheat sheet, and Esc to close any dialog or cancel a pending chord.

Global search — press ⌘ K (or Ctrl K)

Open the command palette from anywhere and start typing to jump straight to a record. It searches across your customers, contacts, leads, quotations, sales orders, invoices, projects, tasks, notes, cases, and products at once — plus the main navigation destinations, and an Ask Oscar entry that carries your query through to the Ask page. Results only ever include records from your current organisation.

Use ↑ ↓ to move through results, Enter to open the highlighted one, and Esc to close. You can also click the Search button in the header.

Go to anywhere — press G, then a letter

The G key starts a navigation chord. Within 2 seconds, press one of the keys below to jump. Follow the chord with N within 1.2 seconds — for example G L N — to land straight on that section's new-record form.

On the current page

Single keys that act on the page you are looking at. Each only works where that page offers the action, so coverage varies: N is on most list pages, E on the invoice, sales order, quotation, supplier and project show pages, and / on the tasks and customers lists.

Per-page action shortcuts

N Create new (lead, customer, invoice, etc.)

Accessibility notes

  • Apart from ⌘+K (or Ctrl+K), which we take over to open the search palette — even while you are typing — shortcuts use unmodified keys only, so browser combinations like Ctrl+L still work as usual.
  • Press ? to open the cheat sheet. It is a native dialog with focus trapping — screen readers announce it, and Esc always closes it.
  • A high-contrast focus ring marks the focused list row, and rows scroll into view automatically when you press J or K.
  • Shortcuts are disabled while typing in any input, textarea, contenteditable region, or select — so a stray N in a note will never trigger a new record.
