Keyboard shortcuts
Move around your dashboard without the mouse: press ? to see every shortcut.
What it does
Shortcuts on your dashboard, the demo, public stats pages and report links. Number keys pick the headline number for the trend chart, letters pick the date range (D today, W 7 days, M 30 days, Q 90 days, Y 12 months, A all time), [ and ] step back and forward, P prints, S saves the chart, L switches theme. Ctrl or Cmd + K still opens the site switcher.
Why it matters
If you check your numbers every day, a couple of key presses beats hunting for buttons. It also helps anyone who finds a mouse or trackpad hard work.
How to use it
- Open your dashboard and press ? to see every shortcut.
- Press 1 to 9 to pick a headline number, D, W, M, Q, Y or A to pick the date range, and [ or ] to step back or forward.
- P prints or saves a PDF, S saves the trend chart as a PNG and L switches between light and dark.
How it works
- Press ? (or tap the ⌨ button next to Print or PDF) to see the list.
- Press a key: the dashboard does exactly what the matching button would do.
- Shortcuts pause while you type in a box, and anything with Ctrl, Cmd or Alt is left to your browser.
- Press Esc or ? to close the list.

Questions
Can I change the keys?
Not yet. Tell us if a key clashes with something you use.
Do they work with a screen reader?
Yes. Each key presses an ordinary link or button, and the list is a normal dialog with a table. Screen reader browse modes may catch letter keys first; switch to focus mode to use them.
