Keyboard Shortcuts
Speed up your workflow with keyboard shortcuts.
Helium supports keyboard shortcuts to help you work faster. Here are the most useful ones.
Global shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+K / Cmd+K | Open global search |
Navigation tips
While Helium doesn't have extensive keyboard navigation beyond search, here are ways to work efficiently:
Use search as navigation
The global search (Ctrl+K) doubles as a navigation tool. Type what you're looking for and click the result to jump directly there — often faster than clicking through sidebar menus.
Browser shortcuts
Standard browser shortcuts work throughout Helium:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Tab | Switch browser tabs |
| Alt+Left | Go back to previous page |
| Alt+Right | Go forward |
| Ctrl+R | Refresh the page |
| F11 | Toggle fullscreen |
Focus management
- Tab — Move between form fields
- Enter — Confirm dialogs and submit forms
- Escape — Close dialogs and modals
Barcode scanning
At the Pack Station, the barcode scanner input is automatically focused — just start scanning. This is designed for hands-free workflow where you don't need to click into the input field.
