Keyboard shortcuts and the command palette

If you spend all day in SKU.io, the keyboard is faster than the menu. There's a command palette for jumping anywhere, a set of shortcuts for working through lists, and a cheat sheet built into the app so you never have to remember them.

See every shortcut — press ?​

Press ? anywhere in SKU.io and the full list opens over the page, grouped by what it applies to. It's the fastest way to learn the rest of this page, and it's always current — so use it rather than memorising a list.

The keyboard shortcuts overlay, opened with ?

Press Escape to close it.

Jump anywhere — the command palette​

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) to open the command palette. Start typing and it searches across pages, products, orders, and customers at once.

The command palette, opened with ⌘K

Narrow the search by prefixing what you type:

PrefixSearches
p:Products
o:Orders
c:Customers

Inside the palette: ↑ and ↓ move through results, Enter opens the highlighted one, Tab switches filter, and Escape closes it.

Move through a list​

These work on any list, once the list has focus:

KeyDoes
J or ↓Next row
K or ↑Previous row
EnterOpen the focused row
X or SpaceSelect or deselect the row
EscapeClear the selection, or drop focus

Select several rows with X and the bulk actions for that list apply to all of them.

Search without reaching for the mouse​

KeyDoes
/Focus the search box on the current page
EscapeLeave the search box

/ searches the page you're on; ⌘K searches everything. Reach for / when you know you're in the right list, and ⌘K when you're not.

Go straight to a section​

Press G, let go, then press a second key:

ChordGoes to
G then SSales Orders
G then PPurchase Orders
G then RProducts
G then WWarehouse Transfers
G then CCustomers
G then BSuppliers

These are also listed in the command palette, so you can use the palette until the chords become second nature.
