Speed up frequently used actions with keyboard shortcuts in censhare Web.

Introduction

In censhare Web, you can use a combination of keys to carry out actions that normally need a mouse, trackpad or other input device and often involve opening a menu and searching for an entry. Rather than using any of these, you just press the respective keys on the keyboard.

In censhare Web, keyboard shortcuts are available for:

  • Global search actions, for example opening the Quick search

  • Frequent asset actions, for example starting the dialog for creating an asset or adding a relation

  • Global actions such as opening the User preferences

  • application-specific actions

You find a list of available shortcuts in the "User" menu under "Keyboard shortcuts". There also is a keyboard shortcut to open this list:

⌘ + Shift +k (Mac) or Ctrl +k (Windows) - Opens the keyboard shortcuts help
