Some functions in Redmine can be accessed by a keyboard shortcut.
The shortcuts vary between browsers and operating systems:

• Chrome for Windows: Alt ("Alt + Shift" for "e" and "f")
• Firefox for Windows and Linux: Alt + Shift
• Microsoft Edge: Alt ("Alt + 7" is not available)
• Chrome, Firefox and Safari for macOS: Ctrl + Opt

Creating a new issue¶

By using the accesskey 7, you can create a new issue from everywhere in a project.

Switch to the editor¶

You can switch to the editor by using the e key.
The accesskey is available for:

• documents
• issues
• wiki pages
• news entries

Update the preview¶

If you are in the editor mode, you can easily update the preview by using the r key.

Moving back and forward¶

Use the keys n (next) or p (previous) to switch to move through:

• stacks of issues
• lists with pagination
• activity pages
• month in the calendar view
• periods in the gantt view
