Quick Search

Quick Search allows you to quickly switch between boards in your monday.com account. Use keyboard shortcut Command + B on a Mac or Ctrl + B on a PC. Then type the name of your desired board to switch between boards as fast as lightning!  

Navigate around your board

You can use the arrows of your keyboard to navigate easily around your board just like in Excel.

You can also use Tab to navigate to the cell to the right within a row or the first cell in the row beneath the one currently highlighted.

Navigate to the previous cell

Use Shift + Tab to navigate easily to the cell to the left of the highlighted cell or the last cell in the previous row. 

Edit cell content

Once you are on a cell, hit Return or Enter to edit the contents. Simple as that!

Close editing any cell

To close the cell after editing without saving your changes, hit Esc.

Clear cell content

Use Backspace on a PC and Delete on a Mac to clear the contents of any cell. But be careful! There's no way to undo this.

Copy, paste and cut cell content

As with other programs, you can copy, paste, and cut cell content using your keyboard shortcuts. You can also copy any cell's content and paste the text anywhere you want outside of monday.com!

Save an update

If you'd like to save an update you have written in the Updates Feed, press Command + Enter (or + Return on a Mac) and your update will be submitted.

Batch Actions

Click on an item and then hold down Command (Shift on a PC) while clicking on an item lower in the list. This will select the range of items in-between. This enables you to move, archive, or delete the list of selected items all at once! This is called "batch actions". You can click here to learn more about using batch actions.

We hope these shortcuts come in handy as you're navigating around monday.com!
