Keyboard Shortcuts

Last updated on Feb 25, 2026

Support Portal provides a set of keyboard shortcuts designed to accelerate routine operations for Agents working in high-volume conversational environments. These shortcuts reduce context-switching overhead by enabling direct execution of common actions without mouse interaction.

Operational Objective

Keyboard shortcuts allow Agents to perform frequent tasks — such as resolving conversations, toggling interface panels, and navigating between views — with minimal input. Consistent use of shortcuts can significantly reduce average handling time per conversation.

Viewing Available Shortcuts

To display the complete list of keyboard shortcuts at any time, use one of the following methods:

Method Action
Keyboard shortcut Press Cmd + / (macOS) or Ctrl + / (Windows / Linux)
Profile menu Select Keyboard Shortcuts from the Profile Settings menu

Expected System Behavior

  • Keyboard shortcuts are active across all pages of the Support Portal Dashboard where the corresponding action is available.
  • Shortcuts that act on a conversation (resolve, navigate, toggle panels) require an active conversation to be selected.
  • The shortcuts overlay can be dismissed by pressing Esc or selecting anywhere outside the overlay.
  • Shortcut bindings are not configurable; they follow the default mappings listed above.
