Keyboard Shortcuts (general)

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 one of these views you need to tab into it or click a row in order to use keyboard shortcuts.

Many of the below keystroke combinations are general and valid for most or all fields on Item List views.

For keystroke support by field type, also see:
