Keyboard shortcuts
On a Mac use ⌘ where it says Ctrl. The ? key shows a short card with the most used ones.
On the chart
| Keys | Do |
|---|---|
| ↑ / ↓ | Select the previous or next issue (group headers are skipped) and keep it in view |
| Alt + ← / Alt + → | Move the selected issue, or epic with its issues, one working day earlier or later |
| Enter | Open the selected issue in Jira's issue view |
| Esc | Close the details panel, clear the selection or the search |
| Ctrl + Z | Undo the last change (dates, dependency removed, rename, assignee, parent) |
| Ctrl + Y, Ctrl + Shift + Z | Redo |
| Delete, Backspace | Remove the selected dependency (after clicking its arrow) |
| + (or =) / − | Zoom in / out |
| 0 or f | Show the whole plan |
| ? | Show or hide the help card |
In the details panel and menus
| Keys | Do |
|---|---|
| Enter on the status or assignee | Open its menu |
| ↑ / ↓ in a menu | Walk the choices |
| Enter in a menu | Pick the focused choice; in the assignee and parent search, the first match |
| Esc in a menu | Close it and go back to its button |
| Enter in the name | Save the new name (Esc puts the old one back) |
| Enter in a date or days field | Save it now (otherwise it is saved when you leave the field) |
| Enter in + Add an issue under it | Create the issue and keep the field open for the next one |
In the list
| Keys | Do |
|---|---|
| Double-click a Start, End or Days cell | Type a date or a length (with Display → Date columns) |
| Enter / Esc in a cell | Save / cancel |
| Double-click a row | Open the issue in Jira |
Shortcuts on the chart do nothing while you type in a field, and Enter on a focused button presses the button. Ctrl + mouse wheel (or a trackpad pinch) zooms, and dragging an empty part of the chart moves around.
