CMS Keyboard Shortcuts


Keyboard shortcuts help you to navigate and complete tasks quickly within the CMS. These shortcuts work in most areas of the interface for improved productivity.

Important
When editing an XHTML element, CMS shortcut keys are not supported as the TinyMCE editor has its own shortcut keys. For TinyMCE keyboard shortcuts, refer to the TinyMCE documentation.

Action Shortcuts
