How do I see all available keyboard shortcuts?

Press Cmd+/ (or Ctrl+/ on Windows/Linux) to open the keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet. It shows every shortcut organized by category — navigation, editing, selection, view management, and AI. You can also find shortcuts in tooltips when hovering over any button or action in the UI.

Do shortcuts work the same on Mac and Windows?

Yes. All shortcuts use Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows/Linux. The cheat sheet automatically shows the correct modifier key for your operating system. Shift, Alt/Option, and arrow key behaviors are identical across platforms.

What are the most important shortcuts to learn first?

Start with five: Cmd+K (command palette), Cmd+N (new entity), Cmd+S (save), Escape (close/cancel), and arrow keys (navigate). These five cover 80% of common actions. From there, add Cmd+Shift+E (AI enrich), Cmd+F (filter), and Cmd+D (duplicate) as you get comfortable.

Can I use shortcuts while editing a cell or field?

Context matters. When editing text in a cell, normal typing takes priority. Press Escape to exit edit mode, and shortcuts become active again. Global shortcuts like Cmd+K and Cmd+S always work, even during editing. The shortcut system is smart about when to capture and when to pass through.

Do shortcuts conflict with browser shortcuts?

WISEROWS carefully avoids browser-reserved shortcuts like Cmd+T (new tab), Cmd+W (close tab), and Cmd+L (address bar). A few shortcuts override browser defaults where the WISEROWS action is more useful — for example, Cmd+F opens the WISEROWS filter panel instead of browser find. Browser find is still accessible via Cmd+Shift+F.

How do keyboard shortcuts help with accessibility?

Keyboard shortcuts are a core accessibility feature. Users who cannot use a mouse can perform every action via the keyboard. All shortcuts are announced to screen readers, focus indicators are always visible, and the tab order follows a logical structure. WISEROWS meets WCAG 2.1 AA keyboard accessibility guidelines.

Are there shortcuts for AI-specific actions?

Yes. Cmd+Shift+E triggers AI enrichment on the selected entity. Cmd+G opens the AI generation menu. Cmd+Shift+T translates the current entity. Cmd+J opens the AI chat sidebar. These shortcuts let you weave AI into your workflow without breaking your rhythm.

Can I chain multiple shortcuts for complex workflows?

While WISEROWS does not support macro recording yet, many workflows naturally chain. For example: Cmd+K → type entity name → Enter → Cmd+Shift+E → Enter. That sequence finds an entity and starts AI enrichment in under 3 seconds, all from the keyboard.

Will custom keybindings be supported?

Custom keybindings are on the roadmap. The current default set is designed to be intuitive and conflict-free. When custom bindings ship, you will be able to remap any action to your preferred key combination, import keybinding profiles, and share them with your team.

How do shortcuts work in different views (table, kanban, gallery)?

Some shortcuts are global (Cmd+K, Cmd+N) and work everywhere. Others are view-specific. In table view, Tab moves between cells. In kanban, Cmd+→ moves a card to the next column. In gallery, arrow keys move between cards. The cheat sheet updates to show shortcuts relevant to your current view.
