Keyboard shortcuts
The keys that make reviewing and finding things faster on a computer. Every shortcut also has a button.

Shortcuts save time on a computer. Each one also has a visible button, so nothing depends on remembering them. Press ? on any screen to see the list for that screen, or search for "Keyboard shortcuts" in the search box.

Good to know
- Shortcuts do nothing while you are typing in a field, so a stray letter never approves a pin. They also ignore keys pressed together with Cmd, Ctrl or Alt.
- Approving or skipping with a key can be undone for 10 seconds, the same as with the buttons.
- On a phone, swipe a pin right to approve it and left to skip it; the buttons stay there too. See Approve and skip pins.
