Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut currently available in Light.
Light is mainly tap-and-click, but a small set of keyboard shortcuts speeds up common flows. This list is deliberately short — shortcuts exist when they're worth learning, not for every action.
cmd on this page means the Command key on macOS and the Ctrl key elsewhere. Where the shortcut shows it, it adapts automatically to the platform you're on.
Current shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action | Where it works |
|---|---|---|
| ⌘+K | Open the command palette (if enabled for your site) | Anywhere |
| / | Focus search, where search is present | Most list pages |
| Esc | Close the current popover, dialog, or sheet | Anywhere |
| ↵ | Submit the current form or confirm a dialog | Any form |
What's not available
- No global create shortcut.
cmd+nand similar aren't bound at this time — creating a booking, customer, or resource is a tap-first action - No navigation shortcuts between top-level sections today
- No per-table row shortcuts (keyboard-driven row selection, bulk actions, etc.)
Shortcuts may expand over time. This reference stays the source of truth; if it isn't listed here, it probably doesn't exist yet.
Why the list is short
Light is used across desktops, tablets, and kiosks. Shortcuts that work well on a keyboard don't help on a tablet — so we add them sparingly, only where the productivity gain is real.
If a shortcut would help your daily work, raise it with your site admin. A shortcut used by many staff across sites is a stronger case for inclusion than one person's preference.
