# Keyboard Shortcuts

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)
