Introducing Keyboard Shortcuts

By Justen Stepka, Product Manager on January 11, 2012

Make your Bitbucket experience faster by dropping the mouse and taking advantage of the new keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts provide a quick and easy way of navigating through Bitbucket and performing common (repetitive) actions without having to take your fingers off the keyboard. Pages you’ll find keyboard shortcuts useful for include:

• source code browser
• commit history
• pull requests
• searching from any page

Row highlighting

Press “j” and “k” to quickly move up and down between table rows and the source browser.

A yellow row highlighter is used when navigating tables and source to show you which row is selected, so you can quickly move between pages when pressing enter.

Shortcuts are just a key away

Navigate over to your Bitbucket repo and try out a few easy shortcuts to get going:

• Press “g” then “d” and you will quickly jump to your dashboard
• Press “/” to search your repo from any page

To see a list of all keyboard shortcuts, simply press the ‘?’ key from any page or read our keyboard shortcuts documentation and start using keyboard shortcuts today!
