Keyboard shortcuts
Verified desktop keyboard shortcuts and known v1.4 conflicts
OpsKnight includes global and route-specific desktop shortcuts. This reference lists combinations with an implemented handler that does not conflict with another known navigation destination.
Press keys in a sequence one after another, not together. A g navigation sequence resets after approximately one second. Shortcuts are normally ignored while you type in an input, text area, or editable field.
Discover shortcuts in the application
- Select Keyboard Shortcuts in the desktop sidebar or user menu.
- Open
/shortcutson your OpsKnight host for the in-product reference page. - Press
?to open a shortcut overlay. In v1.4, overlapping shortcut providers can cause more than one overlay implementation to respond; use their close button orEscapeto exit.
The in-product overlays include some label-only or conflicting entries. Use the verified list below for operational workflows.
Verified global actions
| Keys | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Ctrl+K or Command+K |
Focus and open sidebar search | Requires the desktop sidebar search component |
? |
Open the shortcut overlay | On most keyboards this is Shift+/ |
r |
Refresh the current Next.js route | Does not trigger while typing in an editable control |
c |
Open the quick-create menu | Use the visible create control if no menu is available on the current page |
n |
Open new incident | Implemented only while the current route starts with /incidents |
Escape |
Close the active dialog or search popover | Contextual; not every feature overlay uses the same dialog component |
Browser-reserved shortcuts take precedence. OpsKnight does not override Ctrl+R or Command+R as the documented refresh shortcut.
Verified navigation sequences
| Sequence | Destination |
|---|---|
g, then h or d |
Dashboard |
g, then i |
Incidents |
g, then s |
Services |
g, then t |
Teams |
g, then u |
Users |
g, then c |
Schedules |
g, then e |
Security settings |
g, then n |
Notification settings |
Do not rely on these combinations in v1.4
The desktop tree contains overlapping shortcut handlers with different destinations for these sequences:
g, thenpcan mean Policies or Profile settings.g, thenacan mean Analytics or API keys.
Use the sidebar or settings navigation for those destinations. The shortcut legend also displays Command+S, /, and g, then w, but the audited global provider does not connect all of those labels to a reliable application action in v1.4.
Accessibility and safety
- Use visible navigation when a screen reader or browser extension reserves a shortcut.
- Do not depend on a shortcut for an irreversible or time-critical action; confirm the destination and current incident before acting.
- If focus disappears, press
Tabto restore a visible focus position or reload the page. - Mobile routes are designed around visible touch controls; these desktop shortcuts are not a supported substitute for mobile navigation.
