# Keyboard shortcuts ⌨️

Keyboard shortcuts are little key combinations that save you clicks. You don't need any of them to use TSync — but once a few become second nature, you'll move through your day noticeably faster. This page lists the ones worth learning, grouped by where you'll use them.

**One thing to know up front:** on a Mac, wherever you see **Ctrl**, press **⌘ (Command)** instead.

If you only remember one shortcut, make it **Ctrl + K** — it's the fastest way to get anywhere in TSync.

## Tab straight to the content

Press **Tab** once on any admin page and the first thing that appears is **Skip to content**. Press **Enter**
and you land in the working area of the page, past the whole top bar and sidebar.

It matters more than it sounds. Before this, reaching the first control inside the page took **59 presses of
Tab** — on every page load. The link is invisible until you tab to it, so it never gets in the way of anyone
using a mouse.

If you use a screen reader, the page now also announces its own title as a heading and offers the usual
landmarks — *banner*, *navigation*, *main* — so you can jump by region instead of tabbing through everything.

In the **customer portal**, the buttons that carried only an icon now say their names: show password, generate
a password, attach a file, switch the task view, cancel a ticket status change. Nothing changes visually — the
difference is for people who cannot see the screen, and the portal is the part **your customers** use.

## Jump anywhere — the search box

Press **Ctrl + K** (⌘ + K on a Mac) from any screen and the **Global Search** palette pops open. Start typing — a customer name, an invoice number, a lead, a project, or just a page name — and TSync shows matching results, with the most relevant and most recently used at the top. Global Search finds **any page or feature by name** (in Romanian, Russian or English, and it ignores accents) as well as your records, so you never have to remember where a screen lives. Pick a result and you're there. For the full tour, see the [Global search guide](global-search.md).

| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Ctrl + K** / **⌘ + K** | Open the search box from anywhere |
| **↑ ↓** | Move up and down through the results |
| **Enter** | Open the result you've highlighted |
| **Esc** | Close the search box without going anywhere |
| **Click outside** | Also closes the search box |

> On a project page, the same **Ctrl + K** search is focused on that project's tabs, so you can hop between sections of the project quickly. More in the [Project management guide](project-management.md).

## Jump straight to a section — the G shortcuts

To jump to a TSync page, **press G, then a letter** — that is, tap and release **G**, then tap the letter. For example, **G** then **P** opens Projects. This little two-step replaced the older "Shift + letter" combos, which had a habit of firing by accident whenever you typed a capital letter.

You'll only see the jumps for the parts of TSync you have access to, and they never fire while you're typing in a box, so they won't get in your way.

Press **?** (just the question mark) at any time to pop open the full list of shortcuts right inside TSync — and **Esc** to close it (or any other overlay).

| Press | Goes to |
|---|---|
| **G** then **P** | Projects |
| **G** then **T** | Tasks |
| **G** then **L** | Leads |
| **G** then **C** | New customer |
| **G** then **I** | New invoice |
| **G** then **E** | New expense |
| **G** then **N** | New goods receipt (NIR) |
| **G** then **D** | New delivery |
| **G** then **B** | Finance & Bank |
| **G** then **R** | Treasury |
| **G** then **G** | GL mapping |
| **G** then **V** | TSync EVA |
| **G** then **M** | Companies (when multi-company is on) |

> These are safe by design: every G shortcut just *opens a page* — none of them deletes, posts or changes anything.

## Getting around forms and windows

These work almost everywhere in TSync.

| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Tab** | Move forward to the next field |
| **Shift + Tab** | Move back to the previous field |
| **Ctrl + S** | Save the form you're filling in |
| **Esc** | Close the pop-up window that's currently open |

## Editing text (descriptions, notes, proposals)

When you're typing into one of TSync's rich text boxes — a task description, a note, a proposal — these familiar shortcuts work just like they do in a word processor.

| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Ctrl + B** | **Bold** |
| **Ctrl + I** | *Italic* |
| **Ctrl + U** | Underline |
| **Ctrl + Z** | Undo your last change |
| **Ctrl + Y** / **Ctrl + Shift + Z** | Redo |
| **Ctrl + K** | Add a link to the selected text |

> Good to know: **Ctrl + K** does double duty. While your cursor is inside a text box, it adds a link. Click out of the text box first, and the same keys open the TSync search box instead.

## Working with lists and tables

Your invoices, estimates, tasks and projects all show up in sortable lists. A couple of handy moves:

| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| **/** or **Ctrl + F** | Search the page (your browser's own find) |
| **Click a column heading** | Sort the list by that column |
| **Shift + Click a column heading** | Sort by a second column as well |

## The task board (kanban)

The task board is mostly drag-and-click, but the keyboard still helps:

| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Esc** | Close an open status menu or task window |
| **Tab**, then **Space** or **Enter** | Step to a card and open it |

## Want a shortcut you don't see here?

If there's a key combination you'd love for your own way of working, just [get in touch with us](support.md) — we're happy to help set it up.

## A note on why these keys

We deliberately avoid shortcuts that would clash with your browser (like Ctrl + F to find, Ctrl + R to reload, or Ctrl + T for a new tab), so TSync never gets in the way of how your browser already works. And **Ctrl + K** for the search box is the same convention you'll find in tools like Slack, Notion and GitHub — so it should feel familiar from day one.
