Keyboard Shortcuts

The NestLens dashboard ships with a small, focused set of keyboard shortcuts. This page lists exactly what the dashboard implements — nothing more.

Global Shortcuts

Available from anywhere in the dashboard.

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac)	Clear all entries
Ctrl+D (or Cmd+D on Mac)	Toggle dark mode
Esc	Close the mobile sidebar (when open)

Shortcuts are automatically ignored while you are typing in an input, textarea, or other editable field — except Esc, which always works.

Entry List Navigation

When a row in an entry table is focused (click a row or Tab into the table):

Shortcut	Action
↓ Down Arrow	Move focus to the next row
↑ Up Arrow	Move focus to the previous row
Home	Move focus to the first row
End	Move focus to the last row
Enter or Space	Open the focused entry's details

Tab Navigation

When a tab control is focused (e.g. inside a detail view):

Shortcut	Action
← Left Arrow	Move to the previous tab
→ Right Arrow	Move to the next tab

Dark Mode

Toggle dark mode with either:

• The sun/moon icon in the sidebar
• Ctrl+D / Cmd+D

Your preference (system, light, or dark) is persisted and re-applied on the next visit.

Platform Differences

• Windows/Linux: use the Ctrl key
• macOS: Cmd is accepted in place of Ctrl for the global shortcuts

Accessibility

Keyboard navigation is a first-class concern in the dashboard:

• Table rows are focusable (tabindex) and respond to arrow / Home / End / Enter keys
• Interactive badges and tag inputs are reachable and operable with Enter / Space / Esc
• Focus indicators are visible throughout
