Keyboard shortcuts

The grid is built to be driven without the mouse, and the grammar is the one your hands know from spreadsheets: arrows move, Enter opens, Escape backs out. Cmd below means Cmd on a Mac and Ctrl on Windows or Linux.

Moving around the grid

Keys	What happens
Arrow keys	Move one cell
Tab / Shift+Tab	Move right / left
Cmd+Arrow	Jump to the table's edge in that direction
Home / End	First / last column
Cmd+Home / Cmd+End	First / last cell of the table
Page Up / Page Down	One screen up / down

Big tables load in 200-record pages, so a jump downward lands on the last loaded row while the next page fetches — hold or repeat the key and it keeps walking.

Selecting

Keys	What happens
Shift+Arrow	Grow the selection one cell
Cmd+Shift+Arrow	Extend the selection to the edge — held down, it pulls in further pages until the table actually ends
Cmd+A	Select everything
Shift+Space	Select the row
Ctrl+Space	Select the column (Ctrl on every platform, Macs included)

Acting on cells

Keys	What happens
Enter	Open the cell: text gets its editor, a checkbox toggles, link and attachment cells open their pickers, an enabled button presses
Start typing	Open the editor, replacing the value. This responds to ASCII characters only — typing Arabic or another non-Latin script won't open a cell, so press Enter first
Space, with a row selected	Open the record panel
Backspace / Delete	Clear the cell. For a multi-cell range: Delete (on a Mac, Backspace too)
Cmd+C / Cmd+V	Copy / paste the selection
Cmd+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z	Undo / redo — your own last 50 actions in this table, edits and deletes included

While editing a cell

Keys	What happens
Enter	Save and move down
Tab / Shift+Tab	Save and move right / left
Escape	Close without saving
Shift+Enter	New line in a long text field; single-line fields refuse it

One deliberate exception: a long text field with Rich formatting turned on edits like a document, so Enter makes a new line or the next list item there, and Escape — or clicking outside — is what saves.

In the record panel

Keys	What happens
Escape	Close the panel
Arrow up / Arrow down	Previous / next record, in the view's order
Tab / Shift+Tab	Move through the panel's fields, wrapping at the ends

While your cursor is inside a field, keys type; the panel only answers Escape and the arrows when you're not mid-edit.

Small ceremonies

Keys	What happens
Enter / Escape	Commit / abandon any inline rename — table tabs, view names, the new-table input
Escape	Close whatever sits on top: a menu, a dialog, the view bar's search box (clearing it on the way out)

Layered things close one at a time — Escape over an open date picker inside the record panel dismisses the picker, not the panel.
