Keyboard shortcuts and the command palette

Overview

Vantik has a small set of keyboard shortcuts. A shortcut does not work while you type in a text field, unless this page says that it does.

On a Mac, use ⌘. On a different computer, use Ctrl where the table shows it. Some shortcuts work only with ⌘.

Shortcuts on most pages

These shortcuts work on all pages except the Settings pages. In Settings, only C works.

Key	Action
⌘ / or Ctrl /	Open search. Read Search.
C	Open the new issue dialog.
⌘ B	Narrow the sidebar to a row of icons, or make it wide again. This shortcut works only with ⌘.

Shortcuts on the pages of issues

Each of these shortcuts works only on some pages. The Pages column tells where.

Key	Action	Pages
⌘ K	Open the command palette. This shortcut works only with ⌘.	All the pages in the list below.
F	Open the filter bar.	The Issues page of a team, the All issues page of the workspace, and the page of a capability.
S	Change the status. The dialog Change Status... opens.	The Issues page of a team, and the full page of an issue.
A	Change the assignee. The dialog Change Assignee... opens.	The same pages as S.
L	Add a label. The dialog Add Label... opens.	The same pages as S.
P	Change the priority. The dialog Change Priority... opens.	The same pages as S.

⌘ K works on these pages:

• The Issues page of a team, and the All issues page of the workspace.
• The full page of an issue.
• The Teams page and the Projects page.
• The pages of the agent runs.
• The lists of products, of modules and of capabilities.
• The pages of a product, a module and a capability.

⌘ K, F, S, A, L and P do not work on My issues, on a view, on a cycle, on the page of a project, or in the inbox.

Keys in an open filter bar

These keys work on each page that has an open filter bar. This includes My issues, a view, a cycle and the page of a project.

• F puts the cursor in the filter field.
• Esc takes the cursor out of the filter field. The filter bar stays open.

S, A, L and P change one of these issues:

• The issues that you select. To select an issue in the list, put the pointer on its row, and click its checkbox.
• The last issue that the pointer was on. This applies only when you select no issue.
• On the full page of an issue, that issue.

If no issue agrees, these keys do nothing.

The Change Status... dialog does not check the Definition of Done. It completes an issue without the Definition of Done not met dialog.

Other keys

Key	Where	Action
Esc	The issue at the side of the list	Close the issue. The tooltip of the close button is Close view (Esc).
Esc	The full page of an issue	Go back to the previous page.
⌘ and click	A row in a list	Open the full page of the issue.
⌘ Enter or Ctrl Enter	The new issue dialog	Create the issue. This works in a text field.
⌘ Enter or Ctrl Enter	The new project dialog	Create the project.
⌘ Enter or Ctrl Enter	The Delegate to an agent popover of an issue	Start the agent run.
⌘ Enter or Ctrl Enter	A comment in Needs you	Send the comment.
Enter	A text field in a list or on a page, for example a new criterion	Save the text.
Esc	The same text field	Cancel.
↑ and ↓	The list of people after @ in a comment	Move through the list.
Enter	The same list	Select the person.
Esc	The same list	Close the list.

The lists of issues have no keys to move from one row to the next row. Vantik has no help dialog for the shortcuts.

The command palette

Press ⌘ K on a page of issues to open the command palette. Type in Search command... to find a command.

These commands work:

Command	Action
Create label	Open the Labels settings of the workspace.
Create view	Open the Issues page of the team. Add filters there, and click Save as view.
Go to all issues	Open the Issues page of the team.
Go to views	Open the Views page of the team.
Search	Open search.

Create view, Go to all issues and Go to views need a team. Use them on a page of a team.

The palette also shows Create issue, Create new team and Go to triage issues. These commands do nothing, or they open a page that does not exist. Use these methods instead:

• To create an issue, press C.
• To create a team, click Create Team on the Teams page.
• To see the issues in triage, open the Issues page of the team. Read Triage.

The palette has no commands for an issue. Use S, A, L and P.
