Keyboard Shortcuts

• Introduction
• Keyboard Shortcuts in Facilio

Keyboard shortcuts enable you to perform important functions and navigations using the keys or combinations of keys in the keyboard. This in turn eliminates frequent use of the mouse and other input devices, paving way for easy access and completion of tasks at a faster rate. In other words, repetitive actions can be performed quickly using keyboard shortcuts so as to save time.

Combinations of keys are used to perform a task replacing a series of mouse clicks (for example, Ctrl+C to copy the selected content), whereas individual keys are also used to achieve certain other actions (for example, Esc key to exit from a certain process,task or page).

Note: Although the keyboard shortcuts are the same across the operating systems, the keys used for similar functionalities vary from one Operating System (OS) to another (for example, the Cmd key in Mac OS replaces the usage of Ctrl key in Windows OS).
