Keyboard shortcuts

What it is

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 it works

1. Press ? (or tap the ⌨ button next to Print or PDF) to see the list.
2. Press a key: the dashboard does exactly what the matching button would do.
3. Shortcuts pause while you type in a box, and anything with Ctrl, Cmd or Alt is left to your browser.
4. Press Esc or ? to close the list.

Privacy: what is and isn’t collected

Collected

• Nothing: shortcuts run in your browser and press the same buttons you would

Never collected

• Cookies, localStorage or anything else stored on the visitor’s device
• IP addresses or user agents (used in memory, then discarded)
• Anything that links a visitor across days (the visitor ID resets daily)

Rows and limits

• 0 script bytes, 0 rows written or read
• Needs a keyboard; the ⌨ button is hidden on touch screens
• Letter keys follow the English names (D for day, W for week…)

“Rows” are database rows written, which is what our hosting is billed on. Reads are not rows written. Methodology →
