Keyboard shortcuts for administrators
The keys for everywhere, side panels and the pickers in Administration.
Press ? anywhere in the app to see the list of shortcuts. They work when you are not typing in a field. Press Alt combinations with the left Alt key: on a Lithuanian keyboard the right one (AltGr) types digits.

The sidebar’s width works the same way.
Pickers and lists
Section titled “Pickers and lists”- In people search dialogs (such as Grant system admin, Add admin, or a group’s teachers and members), choose the people; Enter in the search field confirms.
- In group trees (Add to group… and Move to group… in a user’s panel, moving groups under another group): ↑ ↓ move, → expands or goes in, ← collapses or goes up, Home / End go to the first or last.
- While a search field has focus, the shortcuts for everywhere (except search) are off, so they don’t get in the way of typing.
