The command menu takes you by keyboard to any page your sidebar shows. Every role can open it after signing in: with Ctrl+K (on Windows and Linux) or Cmd+K (on a Mac), or with a click on the search field in the header.
Also called: quick search, command palette, keyboard shortcuts, hotkeys.
Press Ctrl+K or Cmd+K, or click the search field in the header. The command menu opens.
Move to the page you want with the arrow keys. The pages sit in the same groups as in the sidebar: General, Data Management and Others. The pages under Settings are listed one by one under their own names.
Press Enter or click the page. The menu closes and the page opens.
Escape closes the menu without opening anything. Ctrl+K or Cmd+K closes it too.
Open the command menu with Ctrl+K or Cmd+K.
Under Theme, choose one of three: Light, Dark or System. System follows your device's setting.
The theme applies in this browser. Until you choose one, portierX shows Light.
These shortcuts work after signing in. Where Mac and Windows differ, Cmd is for a Mac and Ctrl for Windows and Linux.
