Keyboard shortcuts and the command palette

Every keyboard shortcut in the Overlane web app, and how to use the command palette to jump anywhere or run a command.

The web app is keyboard-first. Shortcuts that are single keys are ignored while you type in a field, while a modifier key is held, and while a dialog is open.

Ctrl+K or ⌘K Open the command palette.
Ctrl+J or ⌘J Open the assistant.
g then a letter Go to a view (below). The second key must follow within about a second.

Issues

Keys Does
f or / Focus the filter box.
b Group by the next field. Press it again to cycle through the fields, then to remove grouping.
c Create an issue (members and above).
s Save the current filter and grouping as a view (members and above).

See Saved views for the filter language.

The command palette

Open it with Ctrl+K or ⌘K, type to filter, use the arrow keys to move and Enter to run. It lists:

  • every view, so you can jump without remembering the chord;
  • On this page, the commands the current view offers, for example “New project”, “New memory”, “Filter issues” and “Group issues by status”.

Commands that change something appear only if your role can make that change. The service still refuses a change your role may not make; see Roles in the web app.
