What does "keyboard-first" mean in WISEROWS?

Keyboard-first means every action in WISEROWS is reachable without a mouse. The command palette (Cmd+K) gives instant access to navigation, creation, filtering, and AI generation. 50+ shortcuts cover everything from editing cells to switching views. Arrow keys navigate tables, galleries, and kanban boards cell-by-cell. You can use a mouse if you want — but you never have to.

Do I need to memorize all the shortcuts?

No. The command palette (Cmd+K) is your safety net — type what you want and it finds the action. Shortcuts are discoverable: they appear in tooltips, menus, and the built-in cheat sheet (Cmd+/). Most people learn 5-10 core shortcuts in the first week and gradually add more as they build muscle memory.

Does keyboard navigation work on all views?

Yes. Table view supports spreadsheet-style cell navigation with arrow keys, Tab, and Enter. Gallery view lets you move between cards with arrows and open them with Enter. Kanban columns are navigable with left/right arrows, and cards within columns with up/down. Calendar view supports date navigation with arrow keys.

Is WISEROWS accessible for screen reader users?

Yes. Our keyboard-first design is inherently accessible. All interactive elements have proper ARIA labels, focus indicators are always visible, and the navigation order follows a logical structure. The command palette is fully accessible, and all views announce changes to screen readers.

Can I customize keyboard shortcuts?

Not yet, but it is on the roadmap. Currently, WISEROWS uses a carefully designed default set that avoids conflicts with browser and OS shortcuts. Custom keybindings will let you remap any action to your preferred key combination.

How does the command palette differ from browser search?

Browser search (Cmd+F) finds text on the current page. The command palette (Cmd+K) is a universal action launcher. It searches across all pages, entities, recent items, and available actions. You can navigate to a page, create an entity, run an AI prompt, apply a filter, or switch views — all from one input.

Do keyboard shortcuts work inside modals and panels?

Yes. Context-aware shortcuts adapt to wherever you are. In an entity detail panel, Cmd+S saves, Escape closes. In a modal, Tab moves between fields and Enter confirms. Global shortcuts like Cmd+K always work regardless of context.

What is the fastest way to create a new entity?

Press Cmd+K, type "create", select the entity type, and start filling in fields. The entire flow — from pressing Cmd+K to having a new entity — takes under 3 seconds. No page loads, no navigation, no forms to find.

Why keyboard-first?

Every time you reach for the mouse, you break flow. You scan for a button, move your hand, aim at a target, click, and return to the keyboard. That round trip costs 1-2 seconds per action. Over a full workday, that adds up to 30+ minutes of dead time. Keyboard-first eliminates that friction.

Cmd+K opens from anywhere — no hunting for menus
Shortcuts match your mental model, not the UI layout
Arrow navigation means spatial awareness, not pointer aiming
Every shortcut shown in tooltips — learn as you go
Muscle memory builds in days, not weeks
Accessibility by default — screen readers work everywhere
