Keyboard Shortcuts
Master the default keyboard shortcuts in OpenAnalyst and learn how to customize, reassign, or reset them to fit your workflow.
Default Shortcuts
OpenAnalyst provides keyboard shortcuts across four areas: navigation, editing, dashboard controls, and search. All shortcuts are active when focus is not inside a text input field. The modifier key is Ctrl on Windows/Linux and Cmd on macOS.
Navigation
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl+K | Open command palette |
G then D | Go to Dashboards |
G then R | Go to Reports |
G then A | Go to AI Agents |
G then S | Go to Settings |
Alt+Left | Navigate back |
Alt+Right | Navigate forward |
Dashboard Controls
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
E | Toggle edit mode on current dashboard |
R | Refresh all panels |
F | Enter focus / full-screen mode for selected panel |
Escape | Exit focus mode or close modal |
Ctrl+S | Save dashboard changes |
Ctrl+Z | Undo last layout change |
Ctrl+Shift+Z | Redo layout change |
Editing
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
N | Add new panel to dashboard |
Ctrl+D | Duplicate selected panel |
Delete | Remove selected panel (with confirmation) |
Ctrl+C | Copy panel configuration |
Ctrl+V | Paste panel configuration |
Search and Focus
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
/ | Focus global search bar |
Ctrl+F | Search within current page (data tables, dashboards) |
Ctrl+Shift+F | Full-text search across all workspace content |
Customizing Shortcuts
To reassign a shortcut, go to Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts. Click the shortcut you want to change, then press the new key combination. Shortcut changes are saved to your profile and are not workspace-wide — each user can have personal shortcut assignments.
Warning: Assigning a key combination that is already in use by another action will create a conflict. OpenAnalyst will warn you and require you to resolve the conflict by reassigning one of the competing shortcuts.
Reset to Defaults
To restore all shortcuts to their factory defaults, click Reset to Defaults at the bottom of the Keyboard Shortcuts settings page. This action cannot be undone — any customizations you have made will be lost. A confirmation dialog is shown before the reset is applied.
