Keyboard Shortcuts

In Hudu, many tasks are performed repeatedly. Using a mouse or trackpad for these actions can interrupt workflow and reduce efficiency. Keyboard shortcuts provide a faster, more seamless way to work, helping users stay focused and productive.

 

 

Accessing the Shortcut Cheat Sheet

Hudu includes a built-in shortcut cheat sheet that appears in a scrollable overlay on the right side of the screen.

  • On macOS: Press Command (⌘) + /
  • On Windows: Press Ctrl + /

This overlay provides a quick-reference guide to all available shortcuts, so you can stay focused without leaving your current view.

Shortcut Categories

The cheat sheet is organized into logical groups to help users quickly find what they need:

  • General – Actions like toggling the cheat sheet itself, saving forms, or exiting screens.
  • Navigation – Search-specific shortcuts to quickly jump between companies, assets, passwords, and more.
  • Actions – Functional shortcuts for editing, commenting, toggling panels, and other frequent interactions.

How do I disable shortcuts?

You can disable keyboard shortcuts in your user profile. Note that this will not disable rich text formatting (i.e. command + “B” for bold) or keyboard navigation (i.e. hitting tab to move to the next interactive element). At this time, if you disable shortcuts you will not be able to access specific item searches (i.e. “P” to search Passwords).
