Keyboard Shortcuts

This topic lists all the available keyboard shortcuts in the Web Application User Interface and describes their behavior in their applicable contexts.

Where a plus sign + appears between two keys, it means hold down the key before it and press the key after it. For example, Ctrl+V means hold down the Control key and then press the V key. Release both keys after pressing V.
