Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts in Bindplane provide a fast and efficient way to navigate the application and perform common actions without using a mouse.

The easiest way to discover available shortcuts is to open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog:

1. Press k from anywhere in the application (when not typing in a text field)

2. The dialog displays all shortcuts organized by category

3. Shortcuts are grouped by scope (Global, Page-Specific)

NOTE

For a complete, up-to-date list of all shortcuts, always refer to the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog in the UI rather than this documentation, as shortcuts may change between releases.

How Shortcuts Work

Activation Rules

Keyboard shortcuts are active when:

• You're not typing in a text input field

• You're on the appropriate page (for page-specific shortcuts)

Key Matching

• Shortcuts match the exact key pressed, including modifier keys

• Shortcuts use single keys without modifiers (no Ctrl or Cmd required)

• Shortcuts are case-sensitive in terms of modifiers - pressing a works, but Shift+A does not activate the a shortcut

Shortcut Scopes

Shortcuts are organized into scopes:

1. Global: Available throughout the application (when not typing in text fields)

   • Navigation shortcuts for Bindplane feature pages

   • Access to Settings menu and Keyboard Shortcuts dialog

2. Page-Specific: Available only on specific pages

   • Agents Page: Install new agents

   • Configurations Page: Create new configurations

   • Configuration Details: Add sources, destinations, view history, manage rollouts

   • Library Page: Add new resources (sources, destinations, processors, connectors)
