# Keyboard shortcuts

The tool can be driven from the keyboard for the things you do most often — finding something, and getting to the three screens authors live in.

| Keys         | What it does                                        |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `Ctrl` + `/` | Put the caret in the search box at the top          |
| `Ctrl` + `M` | Go to Master scripts, ready to search the tree      |
| `Ctrl` + `Q` | Go to Questions & Actions, ready to search the tree |
| `Ctrl` + `R` | Go to Reports                                       |
| `Ctrl` + `.` | Reopen the welcome screen, to switch script type    |

`Ctrl` + `M` and `Ctrl` + `Q` do two things: they change screen **and** put the caret in that screen's tree search box. You can hold `Ctrl`, press `M`, and start typing the name of the topic you want without touching the mouse.

## Walking the tree from the keyboard

Once the caret is in a tree's search box:

* Type to narrow the tree to what matches.
* **Down** and **Up** move through the matches without leaving the box, so you can keep typing to narrow further.
* **Enter** opens the one you have landed on.

This is the fastest way into a script when you know roughly what it is called, and it is why the two go-to shortcuts put the caret there for you.

## Chords the browser keeps

Some combinations never reach Keyfax, because the browser claims them first. `Ctrl` + `T` opens a new browser tab and cannot be intercepted, which is why there is no keyboard shortcut for Test Web — it was tried and withdrawn rather than left as one that worked unreliably.

`Ctrl` + `R` is the browser's Reload, and Keyfax does take that one over while you are in the Administration Tool. If you want to reload the page itself, use `F5`.
