Keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut in ProductOS is listed here and rebindable per user. Press ? anywhere for the same list in an overlay you can filter. Customizations persist in browser localStorage under productos.keyboard-shortcuts: they're per-browser, not synced across devices.

Wherever a button, menu item or palette row has a shortcut, its tooltip or right edge shows it in the same key-cap style: ⌘ and ⇧ on a Mac, Ctrl and Shift elsewhere, and a sequence as G then F. Every other tooltip in the app, including plain labels on icons and truncated text, uses the same dark style.

How the keys are chosen

One rule for every control, so a key can usually be guessed before it's looked up:

Inside an open menu or popover, use the arrow keys, Enter, Esc and typing; its items don't have keys of their own. J and K move down and up as the arrows do, so your hand can stay on the home row, and in a menu L opens a submenu and H closes it. Typing in a search field inside one types the letters as usual. In Filter, the arrows move between fields, → or Enter opens a field's options (the arrows move through them and Space ticks one) and ← or Esc goes back. In Saved views, the arrows move between views and Delete removes the one in focus. In Columns, the arrows move between columns, Space shows or hides one and Alt with an arrow moves it up or down.

Moving through a list

J and K highlight the next and previous row, following groups as they are drawn. A group's header takes the highlight too: H closes the group, L opens it and Enter toggles it. Enter opens the highlighted row, X selects it and Esc clears the highlight (with rows selected, it clears the selection too). Clicking a row moves the highlight there, so J carries on from it after you close the item.

In the spreadsheet the highlight is the active cell: J, K, H, L and the arrow keys move it, Enter opens its row, and F2 (or a double-click) edits the cell. H and L move the cell only while one is highlighted; press Esc first and they go back to compacting the top card and opening the Plan view. In a cell with a list of values (Status, Priority, Effort), F2 opens the list on the current value: the arrows or J and K move, Enter or Space picks, Esc cancels. The view options menu beside Standard and Spreadsheet (Shift+D) turns the spreadsheet's gridlines on or off; Space flips them and the menu stays open. A hidden Description stays hidden in every view, including a saved view opened from a link. Each list reopens in the mode you last left it in, Standard or Spreadsheet, on any device you sign in on. A saved view still opens in its own mode, and the default in that menu applies to lists you haven't switched.

What Esc does

One press, one step back, starting with whatever is closest:

• In a field with text (the command palette, the ? overlay's filter, the Learn and Code searches), the first Esc clears the text and the next one closes.
• In a menu or popover, Esc closes it and nothing else, so a highlighted row or cell behind it stays until the next Esc; in a submenu, it goes back to the menu.
• On a list, Esc clears the highlighted row or cell, then the selected rows, then the status or signal chip above the list.
• In an open item, Esc goes back to the item you opened it from (when you opened a linked item from inside another), then closes. The close button closes it straight away.
• In Copilot, Esc in a chat you started from Insight goes back to Insight, keeping what you were typing; in ProductSense, it leaves an edit, then the Apply all confirm, then the history, then closes.
• While editing a comment, a cell or a dashboard layout, Esc cancels the edit and nothing else.

Hold Ctrl to see the keys

Hold Ctrl (⌘ on a Mac) for a moment and every control on the screen that has a shortcut shows its key in a small badge on it, drawn like the shortcut tooltip. Let go and the badges stay, so you can press a key as shown (Shift+C, not Ctrl+Shift+C); the next key, a click, Esc or switching tabs puts them away. Pressing Shift while holding Ctrl doesn't hide them. A quick Ctrl+key never shows them, so copy and paste don't flash anything. While a modal is open, only its own controls are marked, since the page's shortcuts are quiet behind it. A disabled control (Expand all when everything is already open) shows its badge dimmed. Some privacy-hardened browsers, such as LibreWolf, Mullvad Browser and Tor Browser, don't tell pages when Ctrl is pressed on its own; there, hold Ctrl and move the mouse a little to bring up the badges.

Shift+K shows the same badges without holding anything, in any browser. Press it again, Esc or any other key to hide them.

What you'll see

• Grouped list: organized by where the shortcut works (see below)
• Per-row: action label, description, and the current binding as key caps. Click it to rebind; a reset icon appears on rows you've customized. Shortcuts handled outside the registry (the guided tour, the feedback widget, Esc to close) are shown without a button because they can't be rebound

Where shortcuts work

• General: anywhere (command palette, the ? overlay, AI overlay, customize menu, sidebar, notifications, account menu, page info, the guide for this page, theme, feedback widget, Learn panel, Learning Mode)
• Go to: G then a letter, anywhere except while a modal is open or a menu has focus
• Lists: any list page, while nothing is open over it
• Selected rows: when at least one row is selected
• Feature list: on the feature list and sprint board (My Work, sprints, board)
• Roadmap: on the roadmap; Search, Filter, Add, Switch view and ProductSense use the list keys
• Notifications: on the Notifications page, acting on the highlighted notification (the one J and K reach, or the one under the pointer)
• Open item: in an open modal, dock or page
• Close: Esc closes the modal, the dock (with focus in it) and the page (back to its list), unless something smaller is using Esc or there are unsaved changes
• Right-click menu: while a row's right-click menu is open
• Feedback modal: while a feedback item is open
• ProductSense: while the ProductSense panel is open
• Copilot: with focus in the Copilot, as a modal, docked or on its own page
• Guided tour: while a tour is running; not rebindable

Page shortcuts pause while you type in a field; Esc in the list or roadmap search leaves the field (the text stays), so the keys work again. A key that starts a sequence (G, S, N) waits up to a second and a half for the next key before any single-key shortcut sees it, so G M toggles Learning Mode without also toggling My Work.

Standard bindings

Go to

The other sidebar pages (Copilot, Products, Team, Personas, Accounts and the Strategy, Intelligence, GTM and Sales pages) are a Ctrl+K and a few letters of the name away.

The sidebar shows each page's binding when you hover it, and the command palette shows it beside the page.

The settings page is the authoritative list: anything not in the registry isn't a real shortcut.

Mouse modifiers on pills and rows

Anything that opens an entity honours the browser's link gestures: a pill (the chips that link a row to its features, initiatives, personas, accounts and so on, the FEAT-/FDBK- references in AI answers, the hover-preview chips inside detail panels), a row in any list table, an item in a dashboard list, a roadmap card, a Golden Thread card, an org-chart card.

Pills are real links, so the browser's own context menu ("Open link in new tab", "Copy link address") works on them too. Rows and cards aren't links, so their right-click menu carries an Open in new tab item instead. These are browser behaviours rather than registry shortcuts, so they can't be rebound.

Rebinding

Click the binding chip on any row and press the new combination; it saves immediately (Esc cancels). ProductOS lists a collision under each conflicting row ("Conflicts with: …"): the same keys where both shortcuts can fire at once, or a single key that is also the first key of a sequence.

Reset

Customized rows show a Reset to default icon that removes the customization from localStorage.
