Keyboard Shortcuts
Productivity keyboard shortcuts for navigating and interacting with JobLine.ai efficiently.
General Navigation
Escape: Close any open dialog, modal, or dropdown. This is the most useful shortcut — it works everywhere in the application and saves you from reaching for the X button with your mouse. Ctrl/Cmd+K: Open the command palette (if available in your version) for quick navigation to any page by typing its name.
Queue Shortcuts
When the queue list is focused: Up/Down Arrow Keys navigate between rows, highlighting each work order in sequence. Press Enter to open the detail view for the highlighted work order. Press Escape to close the detail view and return to the list. These shortcuts let you review work orders rapidly without switching between mouse and keyboard.
Form Shortcuts
In any form (handoff creation, NCR filing, work order creation): Tab moves focus to the next field, Shift+Tab moves to the previous field. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter submits the form (equivalent to clicking the Submit or Save button). These are standard browser shortcuts that work consistently throughout JobLine.ai.
Search Shortcuts
On pages with a search bar (Queue, User Management, Part Catalog): Ctrl/Cmd+F or clicking the search icon focuses the search input. Start typing immediately to filter results. Press Escape to clear the search and restore the full list.
Browser Shortcuts That Help
These are not JobLine.ai-specific, but they are useful: Ctrl/Cmd+R refreshes the page (equivalent to manual refresh). Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R performs a hard refresh, clearing cached assets. Ctrl/Cmd+T opens a new browser tab (useful for viewing two JobLine.ai pages simultaneously). F11 toggles full-screen mode (useful on shop-floor monitors with limited screen space).
