Redmine has two kinds of keyboard shortcuts: accesskeys, which are provided by the browser, and shortcuts that Redmine handles itself and that therefore work the same way in every browser.
Accesskeys¶
Some functions in Redmine can be accessed using accesskeys.
The modifier keys used to trigger an accesskey vary between browsers and operating systems:
| Browser | Windows | macOS | Linux | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Alt | Ctrl + Option | Alt + Shift | Accesskeys 7 and 4 are not available on Windows and Linux. On Windows, use Alt + Shift instead for the accesskeys e and f. |
| Firefox | Alt + Shift | Ctrl + Option | Alt + Shift | |
| Safari | n/a | Ctrl + Option | n/a | Safari is available on macOS only. |
| Edge | Alt | Ctrl + Option | Alt + Shift | Same as Chrome. |
Shortcuts using accesskeys¶
In the table below, <Accesskey> stands for the modifier keys listed above for your browser and operating system.
| Keyboard shortcut | Description | Available in |
