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

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+K / Cmd+KOpen global search

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:

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+TabSwitch browser tabs
Alt+LeftGo back to previous page
Alt+RightGo forward
Ctrl+RRefresh the page
F11Toggle 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.
