# Keyboard shortcuts

> The keyboard shortcuts TimeTracker supports – the command palette, the sidebar toggle, and the palette's own navigation and filter keys.

TimeTracker has a small, deliberate set of shortcuts. This is all of them.

`Cmd` is the Mac key. Use `Ctrl` on Windows and Linux – both work everywhere.

## Everywhere in the app

| Shortcut    | What it does                                       |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `Cmd` + `K` | Open the command palette. Press it again to close. |
| `Cmd` + `B` | Show or hide the sidebar.                          |

<Tip>
  `Cmd` + `K` works while your cursor is in a text field, so you never have to click
  out of what you are typing first.
</Tip>

## Inside the command palette

The palette is one surface for finding records, jumping to a page and starting a
timer.

| Key                | What it does                                                                                   |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Type               | Search across clients, projects, tasks and pages                                               |
| `↑` `↓`            | Move between results                                                                           |
| `Enter`            | Open the highlighted result                                                                    |
| `Option` + `Enter` | Start a timer on the highlighted project or task, instead of opening it                        |
| `Tab`              | Narrow the search to the kind of thing under the cursor – projects only, tasks only, and so on |
| `Backspace`        | With the cursor at the very start, clears the kind filter rather than your search text         |
| `Esc`              | Clears the kind filter first. Press again to close the palette.                                |

<Note>
  `Esc` deliberately clears the filter before it closes the palette, so one stray press
  does not throw away a long query along with your scope.
</Note>

`Option` + `Enter` only starts a timer if you can track time and the highlighted
result is a project or a task. See [using the timer](/time-tracking/using-the-timer).

## Editing in place

Most inline edit fields – renaming a section, adding a task, setting an estimate –
follow the same two keys:

| Key     | What it does             |
| ------- | ------------------------ |
| `Enter` | Save and close the field |
| `Esc`   | Cancel without saving    |

## That is the whole list

TimeTracker does not add shortcuts for their own sake. If you want one, it is worth
asking for – see [contact support](/troubleshooting/contact-support).
