Frequently used keyboard shortcuts
The following keyboard shortcuts can be used in a variety of ways. If you forget a keyboard shortcut, check the command palette.
Command palette
The command palette allows you to view all available commands based on your current context.
To access the command palette, press F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P.
If you are using Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+P will open an incognito window, so use the F1 option instead.
Navigating with the Tab key
In most cases, you can navigate the entire page via the Tab key. In the editor, console, and shell, however, Tab will be used for indentation. In these cases, you can press Esc and then press Tab to navigate to the next element on the page.
