Use keyboard shortcuts

The keys that save the most time: the command bar, Quick Create, and the help menu.

1 min read · Published Jul 4, 2026

Tormano supports keyboard navigation throughout the app. The shortcuts below work on every page.

Global

  • Cmd+K / Ctrl+K: open the command bar
  • c: open Quick Create (when you’re not typing in a field)
  • ?: open the Help menu (when nothing else is focused)
  • Esc: close any dialog, menu, or dropdown

Forms and dialogs

  • Tab / Shift+Tab: move between fields
  • Enter: submit the form (except inside a multi-line text box)
  • Esc: cancel and close

Lists and tables

  • /: focus the search box on most list pages
  • Arrow keys move between rows in the command bar results and on the kanban board

Quick Create (the + in the top bar, or the c key)

Use this to create a record without leaving the page you are on. The list changes by edition: the Business edition offers Contact, Deal, Activity, Company, and Meeting Type; the Nonprofit edition offers Contact, Donation, Pledge, Event, Volunteer, Activity, and Grant.

Learn three things first: Cmd+K, Quick Create (the + button or c), and the help menu (?). They cover most of a normal day.
