# Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts allow you to perform a variety of common actions more efficiently across the application.

The [Shortcuts Dialog](/application-guide/keyboard-shortcuts.md#shortcuts-dialog) shows all available keyboard shortcuts for the application inside of hierarchical sections in a single panel. It also includes a full “fuzzy” search to quickly locate a shortcut of interest.

The shortcuts dialog can be opened by clicking the “keyboard” icon button located on the main navigation bar at the leftmost side of the window. The button is located at the very bottom of the bar just above the user initials.

All of the keyboard shortcuts available across the application are included in this dialog. Shortcuts are located in sections based on the areas of the application where they are applicable. Sections are organized further into subsections to create clearer delineations of where the shortcut can be used. Each section can be collapsed to hide its contents, this will also collapse all of its subsections.

The **search bar** at the top of the dialog is designed to filter by section title, shortcut description, and the shortcut itself. Typing a search term into the bar will surface whichever one of these items that has the highest priority and closest match. If no matches are found, the search will attempt to surface shortcuts that are the closest match, or have related metadata. This can help you “fuzzy” search for shortcut that you may not remember exactly.
