Keyboard Shortcuts (Pick Lists)

Keyboard users can take advantage of keyboard support when working in the workspace-level Task List and Item List views.

Note: When you first open a List view, you need to tab into it or click a row in order to use keyboard shortcuts.

Definitions for this chart:

Single-select list—A list for which you can select only one option at a time.
Multi-select list—A list for which you can select multiple options.
Complete Option list—A list of all valid options for the pick list, opened by doing one of the following:
Clicking the drop down icon
Pressing the down arrow when the cell is in edit mode
Auto-complete Option list—A partial list of valid options for the pick list, opened by typing a string of characters when the cell is in edit mode. Options in the auto-complete list include a match of the typed string.
