Keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut available in the Quilium back office, screen by screen.

This page lists the keyboard shortcuts of the Quilium back office. Shortcuts follow three conventions: ⌘+letter combinations act on the open document (save, select all, delete), single letters act on the current screen and mirror the action's name, and every active shortcut is displayed where the action lives — on the button itself, or right-aligned in a context menu.

Platform keys. ⌘ means Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux; ⌫ is the Backspace key. The interface shows the right key for your platform.

Single-letter shortcuts never fire while the cursor is inside a text field, a rich-text editor or any other input, and they are suspended while a dialog, drawer or menu is open — typing a letter always types the letter.

Everywhere

Shortcut	Action
`Esc`	Close the current dialog, drawer or menu; clear the selection in listings
`⌘S`	Save the open editor — content block, page properties, collection item, settings page
`L`	Open the editing-language selector (multilingual sites)

Pages

Shortcut	Action
`N`	New page — the page appears in the tree immediately; drag it to its position before creating
`⌘S`	Create the page (while the New page view is open)
`P`	Publish the current page
`⇧P`	Publish the current branch — the page and its sub-pages with unpublished changes
`E`	Edit the current page's properties (title, slug, SEO, custom fields)
`D`	Duplicate the current page with its contents
`⌘⌫`	Move the current page to the trash (asks for confirmation; the home page is protected)
`/`	Search the page tree
`T`	Open the pages trash
`H`	Open the page history — revisions timeline with preview and restore; `H` or `Esc` closes it
`1` `2` `3` `4`	Switch view: content editing, mobile preview, tablet preview, desktop preview

The same shortcuts appear right-aligned in the page tree's context menu when it is opened on the current page.

`E` or `Enter`	Open the media sheet for the selected media (single selection)

`/`	Focus the search field
`H`	Open the media history — uploads, edits, moves and deletions; `H` or `Esc` closes it
Click, `⌘`-click, `⇧`-click	Select a media, add to the selection, extend the selection
