Keyboard shortcuts

Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate the app and execute common actions faster.

Speed up your workflow with initdesk keyboard shortcuts.

On Mac, use Cmd. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl. Press ? in the app to see the shortcut reference.

Single-key shortcuts pause while you type or use a menu or dialog. Unavailable actions and pending operations can also block their shortcuts. For punctuation such as !, use the keys that produce that character on your keyboard layout.

Everywhere in the organization
