Every page in the console is one keystroke away. The Search button sits in the top bar beside your avatar, and ⌘ K opens the same menu from anywhere (Ctrl K on Windows and Linux). The same keystroke closes it.
Next to it is Arby, on ⌘ J (Ctrl J on Windows and Linux). Search finds the screen, Arby answers the question. More in Arby.
Open the overview
What it finds
Before you type, the menu is the whole console in groups: Main, Reports, Account settings, Organisation settings, Client settings and Developer settings. It lists only what your role can actually open, so a member without reporting never sees the report pages sitting there teasing them.
Type, and the list narrows to Results. Once there are two characters to work with, a Help group appears underneath with up to four articles from this help centre. Choosing one opens it in a new tab, so you keep the page you were on.
Nothing matches, and the menu says so rather than showing you a guess.
Recents
The last three destinations you chose sit under Recent at the top, before you have typed anything. They are kept in the browser, not on your account, so a different machine starts from a clean list.
Letter shortcuts
On the overview, the quick actions answer to a single letter. The letter is printed on the row, and every action in the catalogue responds, not only the rows you have chosen to keep in your rail.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| E | Draft an email |
| N | Log an enquiry |
| C | Add a contact |
| B | Create a booking |
| Q | Send a quote |
| I | Raise an invoice |
| K | Send a contract |
| D | Block out a date |
| R | Build a run sheet |
| P | Take a payment |
They stand down when you are typing
A bare letter is a risky thing to bind, so it does nothing while a modifier is held, while the cursor is in a field or a text box, or while a dialog or sheet is open. They are live on the overview only: on the other pages, the letters are yours.
Each one goes to the page that owns the action and starts it there, the same as pressing the row. More on the rows themselves in Overview.
