Keyboard Shortcuts

The keyboard shortcuts that open the Create window, the Action Bar, Settings, Tasks and Chat, and add rows, fields and blocks without the mouse.

In short

  • Create anything: press C to open the Create window with the AI App Builder. To start a chat or add an agent from the sidebar, go to Agents and open the New tab.
  • Search or run a command: press Ctrl + K to open the Action Bar.
  • Settings: press Ctrl + . (Command + . on Mac).
  • In a table: N adds a row and F creates a field.

What is it

Jestor has shortcuts for the actions you repeat the most. Learn a handful and you can build, search and fill in tables without reaching for the mouse. Single-letter shortcuts work when you're not typing in a text field.

How to access

Shortcuts work from anywhere in Jestor. To see the full list of commands, open the Action Bar with Ctrl + K and open List of Shortcuts.
