# Shortcuts and preferences

Every keyboard shortcut in SalexHub, how to turn the one-letter ones off, and your own choices for theme, text size, motion and language.

Press `?` anywhere outside a text field to see the shortcuts that work on the page you are on. Keys are shown as on a Mac; on Windows and Linux, `Ctrl` takes the place of `⌘`.

## General

| Mac | Windows and Linux | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `⌘ K` | `Ctrl K` | **Search**: records, pages, conversations and settings |
| `F` | `F` | **Search**, where the search field shows in the menu |
| `⌘ J` | `Ctrl J` | **Agent**: open or close the Agent's panel |
| `⌘ \` | `Ctrl \` | **Fold or unfold the menu**; where a list of conversations shows, **Conversations** shows or hides it |
| `⌘ I` | `Ctrl I` | **Inspector**, on the Agent's page |
| `⌘ .` | `Ctrl .` | **Stop the running answer** |
| `⌘ Enter` | `Ctrl Enter` | **Say yes to the change on the half**: approve the change open beside the conversation |
| `Z` | `Z` | **Undo what you just did**, for 20 seconds, beside the conversation |
| `J`, `K`, `X` | `J`, `K`, `X` | **Next row**, **Previous row**, **Select the row** in a list beside the conversation |
| `⌘ ,` | `Ctrl ,` | **Settings**, in the chat |
| `?` | `?` | **Keyboard shortcuts** |

## Navigation

Press `G`, then a letter. A page you cannot open, or whose module is off, has no key.

| Keys | Goes to |
| --- | --- |
| `G` then `H` | Overview |
| `G` then `C` | Contacts |
| `G` then `O` | Companies |
| `G` then `D` | Deals |
| `G` then `P` | Projects |
| `G` then `T` | Tasks |
| `G` then `R` | Reports |
| `G` then `A` | Dashboards |
| `G` then `S` | Settings |

## Lists

In a list of records, and in your notifications:

| Keys | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `J` or `↓` | **Next record** |
| `K` or `↑` | **Previous record** |
| `Home`, `End` | **First record**, **Last record** |
| `Enter` | **Open the record** |
| `X` | **Select or unselect the record** |
| `Escape` | **Clear the selection** |
| `E` | **Archive**, in notifications |
| `U` | **Mark read or unread**, in notifications |
| `H` | **Snooze until tomorrow**, in notifications |

A whiteboard lists its own keys under **Keyboard shortcuts** in its top row.

## One-letter shortcuts

One-letter keys, `G` sequences included, never fire while you type in a field. To turn them all off, switch off **One-letter keyboard shortcuts** in **Settings > Account > Profile & preferences**, under **Keyboard**. Keys with `⌘` or `Ctrl` keep working, and a whiteboard's letter tools go off too.

## Your preferences

These choices are yours alone and follow you to every device you sign in on.

In the app, **Settings > Account > Profile & preferences**:

| Setting | Choices |
| --- | --- |
| **Theme** | **System** (default), **Light**, **Dark** |
| **Table rows** | **Comfortable** (default), **Compact**: shorter rows in record lists |
| **Ask before actions you can undo** | Off by default: archiving and moving to the recycle bin happen at once and offer Undo |
| **One-letter keyboard shortcuts** | On by default |
| **Language** | English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Ukrainian. Dates and numbers follow the organization |
| **Time zone**, **Week starts on** | The organization's by default. What counts as today and overdue still follows the organization's day |
| **Home page** | The page you open on in this organization; **Overview (default)** |

In the chat, **Settings** (`⌘ ,`) **> General** has these too, except **Home page**, and four more:

| Setting | Choices |
| --- | --- |
| **Text size** | **Small**, **Default**, **Large**, **Larger** |
| **Conversation width** | **Narrow** (default), **Wide**, **Full** |
| **Motion** | **Match system** (default), **Reduce**: every movement becomes a short fade |
| **Spoken language** | What dictation listens for; **This browser's language** by default |
