# Keyboard Shortcuts

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/using-the-platform/web-app/global-search/keyboard-shortcuts/

Qualytics provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation, operations, check management, and entity actions across the platform. This page lists every available shortcut, grouped by category.

> **Tip: About the Command Palette**
>
> Many shortcuts also surface in the **Command Palette**, the overlay you open with `Cmd`+`K``Ctrl`+`K`. To learn how the palette behaves and how asset results appear, see [Command Palette](https://userguide.qualytics.io/using-the-platform/web-app/global-search/command-palette/).

## How Sequential Shortcuts Work

Some shortcuts use a two-key sequence written as `G` then `E`. Press each key in turn, not together, and complete the sequence within about two seconds. If you wait too long, the sequence resets and you can start again.

## Open the Keyboard Shortcuts List

**Step 1:** Click the **Search** bar at the top of the dashboard, or press `Cmd`+`K``Ctrl`+`K`.
