    Backoffice Keyboard Shortcuts

    I was in the backoffice of one of our umbraco 7.2.8 sites. I accidentally pressed ALT+LEFT and discovered that I can navigate quickly back and forth between two nodes in the content tree with ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT. Is there documentation on the umbraco backoffice shortcuts? Or is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to pop up a keyboard shortcut cheat sheet? I seem to remember something like that existing in Umbraco 4 or 6, but I haven't figured it out in umbraco 7 with my experimentation yet.

    Thanks

    Hi

    I've had a very quick hunt in the code:

    There are keyboard shortcuts when creating Document types

    Shift-Alt-K pops up a dialog showing them

    enter image description here

    • Ctrl-Shift-U - Displays your profile
    • Ctrl-Shift-H - Displays the help panel

    Still looking for more :)

    Interesting. The Shift+Alt+K only works on the new doc type editor.

    Hi Mark and Kevin,

    I have added a pull request which added the information about the Keyboard Shortcuts in the document type editor.

    See https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoDocs/pull/377

    Hi,

    Some more:

    • Ctrl-Space - moves focus to the search box.

    In Content:

    • Ctrl-P - Publish (or send to publish)
    • Ctrl-S - Save
    • Ctrl-U - Unpublish

    If you are using a RTE - there are Tiny MCE Shortcuts

    Developer/Settings:

    • In most editors Ctrl-S saves

    Wouldn't it be nice, if there was a Confirm dialog for changes, like "Publish" and "Unpublish"?

    A few days ago I accidentally unpublished a clients entire site by pressing CTRL+U, trying to view source on the page, while in Content (root node).

    Even better: Don't use keyboard shortcuts that are used for other stuff:

    • CTRL+P = Print
    • CTRL+U = View source
