Keyboard Shortcuts

Reading time: 3 minutes

Atlas supports keyboard shortcuts for navigating lists, working with detail panels, and acting on records without reaching for the mouse. Press ? anywhere in the app (outside a text field) to bring up the built-in shortcuts reference.

The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog in Atlas, opened with the ? key, listing the Navigation, Panel, Actions, and Global shortcuts.

Global

Shortcut	Action
⌘+K (Ctrl+K)	Open the command palette — search and jump to any page
?	Show the keyboard shortcuts dialog
Esc	Close the open dialog, panel, or command palette

The command palette (⌘+K) is the fastest way to move around Atlas: open it, type the name of a page or record, and press Enter to go there. It replaces the need for dedicated "go to" shortcuts.

List Navigation

When you're on a list (Invoices, Bills, Journal Entries, and other tables), move through rows without the mouse:

Shortcut	Action
J or ↓	Next row
K or ↑	Previous row
Home	First row
End	Last row

---

Detail Panel

Lists that open records in a side panel support these:

Shortcut	Action
Enter	Open the detail panel for the active row
Esc	Close the panel
Space	Toggle the peek preview
F	Expand the panel to the full page
[	Make the panel narrower
]	Make the panel wider

---

Actions

With a row selected or a detail panel open, these single-key accelerators act on the current record:

Shortcut	Action
E	Edit
D	Duplicate
S	Send (where applicable)
?	Show the keyboard shortcuts dialog

Tips

• Shortcuts are disabled while a text input, textarea, or select is focused — so typing in a form never triggers them. Click outside the field (or press Esc) first.
• The E, D, and S action keys are context-aware: they apply to the record you currently have selected or open.
• Not every list exposes every shortcut — the ? dialog always reflects what's available, and panel shortcuts only apply on pages that use the side-panel layout.
