Keyboard shortcuts

Keys for searching, editing cells, adding rows and closing dialogs.

Skint is designed to work with the keyboard. Most shortcuts work anywhere in the app, but the editing keys only apply while you’re editing a cell or a new row.

Search

Key	What it does
`/`	Moves the cursor to the search box at the top of the sidebar. It doesn’t work while you’re typing in another field.
`↓` / `↑`	Moves through the search results.
`Enter`	Opens the highlighted result.
`Escape`	Clears the search and closes the results.

Editing a cell

Click any cell marked for editing (the cell shows a hover hint with the text “Click to edit”). Then:

Key	What it does
`Enter`	Saves the change.
`Escape`	Cancels the change and keeps the old value.
`Tab`	Saves the change and moves to the next cell in the row.
`Shift` + `Tab`	Saves the change and moves to the previous cell in the row.

For cells with a fixed set of choices, such as category, picking a choice saves it straight away.

Adding a new row

When you choose Add bill, a new row opens at the top of the list:

Key	What it does
`Enter`	Saves the new row.
`Escape`	Discards the new row.

Menus and dialogs

Key	What it does
`Escape`	Closes a column menu.
`Escape`	Closes a dialog, such as a confirmation or an edit form.
`Escape`	Closes the mobile menu on small screens.

Tips

Your browser’s own shortcuts still work, such as Cmd or Ctrl with F to search the page, and Cmd or Ctrl with + and - to zoom.
On a phone, use the bottom bar to move between pages.
