# Keyboard shortcuts

* Option (⌥) + H - Show all keyboard shortcuts
* Option (⌥) + S - Focus the search box on pages that have one

* Cmd (⌘) + B - Open / close left nav
* O then W - Open client workspace switcher (inside a client workspace)

### Transactions tab shortcuts

{% hint style="info" %}
The blue line to the left of a transaction row indicates the focused row.
{% endhint %}

#### Row shortcuts

| Shortcut       | Action                                                                                                     |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Enter or x     | Select or deselect a transaction                                                                           |
| Esc            | Remove bulk select or exit current selection                                                               |
| ⌘ + → / ←      | Control pagination                                                                                         |
| ↑ / ↓ or j / k | Move row focus up or down                                                                                  |
| Shift + A      | Select or deselect all rows on the current page                                                            |
| Shift + ↑ / ↓  | Select multiple transactions in bulk                                                                       |
| ⌘ + ↑ / ↓      | Jump to first or last row                                                                                  |
| → / ←          | Open or close details panel                                                                                |
| c              | Open category selector for the focused row                                                                 |
| m              | Open memo editor for the focused row                                                                       |
| e              | Open entity selector for the focused row                                                                   |
| g              | Open cash ledger account editor for the focused row; falls back to the accrual ledger column when relevant |

The c, m, e, and g keys act on the focused row only. They do nothing while transactions are selected, because bulk edits run through the command portal instead.

#### Command portal shortcuts

With transactions selected, press ⌘ + K to open the command portal. Type an action's letter to bring it to the top of the list, then press Enter.

| Key | Action             |
| --- | ------------------ |
| T   | Create task        |
| C   | Set category       |
| V   | Set counterparty   |
| L   | Set class          |
| G   | Set cash ledger    |
| R   | Revert cash ledger |
| A   | Set accrual ledger |
| E   | Set entity         |
| M   | Set memo           |
| U   | Unmatch all        |
| S   | Unsplit all        |

{% hint style="info" %}
The portal only lists actions that apply to the current selection, so not every key is available every time. Revert cash ledger, for example, appears only when a selected transaction has a manually set cash ledger.
{% endhint %}

### Journal entry editor shortcuts

| ⌘ + z              | Undo last change                               |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| ⌘ + c              | Copy selected cell or row                      |
| ⌘ + v              | Paste into cell or row                         |
| Tab                | Move to next cell horizontally                 |
| Drag fill handle   | Drag to fill any field                         |
| = (in Amount cell) | Start an in-cell calculation (e.g., =1500-250) |

***

### Navigation shortcuts

These work inside a client workspace. They are not registered in the firm view, so they do nothing on Clients, Team, Templates, Billing, or other organization-level pages.

| Shortcut | Navigates to      |
| -------- | ----------------- |
| G then A | Accounts          |
| G then B | Billing           |
| G then C | Categories        |
| G then D | Documents         |
| G then F | Classes           |
| G then G | General Ledger    |
| G then H | Chart of Accounts |
| G then I | Invoicing         |
| G then J | Reconciliation    |
| G then K | Profit & Loss     |
| G then L | Balance Sheet     |
| G then M | Accounting        |
| G then N | Trial Balance     |
| G then Q | Tasks             |
| G then R | Rules             |
| G then S | Settings          |
| G then T | Transactions      |
| G then V | Counterparties    |
| G then W | Insights          |
| G then Y | Activity          |

#### Firm view

The firm view has a separate, smaller set, and these run through the command portal rather than as direct hotkeys. Press ⌘ + K, type the two letters, then press Enter.

| Keys | Navigates to |
| ---- | ------------ |
| G C  | Clients      |
| G T  | Team         |
| G B  | Billing      |
| G S  | Settings     |

Billing and Settings appear only if your firm role gives you access to them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kick.co/accountants/reference/keyboard-shortcuts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
