Keyboard shortcuts

The board is meant to be driven from the keyboard. Everything you can do with a mouse has a key, including rearranging tiles — drag-only reordering would make the feature unusable for a real share of people.

On the board

Key Action
← ↑ → ↓ Move focus between apps
Home / End First / last app
Enter or Space Open the focused app in a new tab
Shift + arrows Move the focused app one slot
e Edit the focused app
Delete / Backspace Remove the focused app (asks first)

The grid uses a roving tab stop: exactly one tile is in the tab order at a time, so Tab moves past the board rather than through forty tiles.

Arrow movement clamps at the edges rather than wrapping. On a wrapping grid, holding → walks the whole collection and you cannot tell "I'm at the end" from "I'm looping".

Every move announces itself to screen readers, and names which ordering changed — "Grafana moved to position 4 of 9 in Infra." There are two: your board's, and one per group. Arranging a group does not reshuffle your board.

Anywhere in the app

Key Action
n Add an app
r Add a private link
c Browse the catalog
/ Jump to the filter
1–9 Switch to group N (the digit is shown on the row)
[ Collapse or expand the sidebar
Esc Close a dialog or menu
paste Pasting a URL onto the board opens the add form, pre-filled

Shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a field, so / in a URL does not teleport focus away mid-edit.

In dialogs

Key Action
Esc Close
Enter Submit

Everything on your board is yours

There are no read-only views any more. Your board, your groups and your links belong to you alone, so every tile on them is rearrangeable and removable. Editing the shared catalog entry behind an app is the one thing that can be refused — see Apps, resources & groups.
