Have you ever stopped to think about how much time you spend clicking through menus to find the right command?

It's more than you think. Keyboard shortcuts can save time and keep your momentum going. Below is a breakdown of common shortcuts that work great in Goodshuffle Pro—and across many other platforms.

You’ll press Ctrl or ⌘ plus the corresponding letter to use the shortcut.

📝 Note: Most browsers only store one clipboard selection at a time.

Got the hang of the basics? Excellent! Now we can move on to more complex shortcuts.

*The Windows Key will be located near a PC’s spacebar and will have a Windows flag logo on it.

Quickly scan long logs for terms like “signed” or “payment.” Especially helpful in Project Logs!

This is what it looks like when I use the “find” shortcut in Goodshuffle Pro’s Project log using Safari. As you can see, the “find” shortcut searches the page for every instance of the searched term (for this example, I used “signed”), and highlights it. To jump from one instance of “signed” to the next, simply use the arrows by the “find” search bar or hit the “Enter” key to jump to the next instance. The Logs tab can get pretty lengthy, so using this feature is a life saver!

Makes messages cleaner—embed a link directly into a word or phrase.

For example, you can see in the image below that the link, while not terribly long in this case, still looks bulky and is distracting.

Yet when we use the “hyperlink” shortcut, the link becomes a part of the text and isn’t distracting.

To use the “hyperlink” shortcut, simply highlight the text you’d like to attach the hyperlink to, hit ⌘ + K or Ctrl + K, and copy and paste in the URL. Press enter and you’re all set!

Clear formatting - Often when you’re copying, cutting, and pasting across different documents, your computer will paste the formatting as well as any numbers and text you’ve selected. This can result in spreadsheets and documents with different fonts, font sizes, font colors, etc. that look really messy and can be difficult to read. The good news is that there’s a fast way to fix this formatting mess by using the “clear formatting” shortcut. This will convert all of the selected text to the program’s default formatting. Simply highlight/select the text you’d like to fix and press ⌘ + | (the | button is near the “delete” key on a Mac) or Ctrl + Spacebar for PC.

Paste plain text - If you know your copied/cut items will paste with formatting, you can opt to use this shortcut instead of doing a normal paste and then using the “clear formatting” shortcut. Simple put your cursor where you’d like to place your text and press Shift + ⌘ + V for Mac or Shift + Ctrl + V for PC.

Did you know that there are specific shortcuts just for your browser, such as Google Chrome and Safari? These can help you quickly navigate your tabs.

Open new tab - Instead of clicking the plus sign at the top of your browser, you can use a shortcut to open a new tab. Simply press ⌘ + T for Macs or Ctrl + T for PCs.

Open link in new tab - Use this shortcut when you’d like to open a link in a new tab instead of navigating away from the page you’re on.

Close tab - Use this shortcut instead of clicking on the little “x” next to your tab to close it.

Reopen closed tab - Oops! Closed the wrong tab? Realized you needed to do something else in that tab after you closed it? No worries— just use this shortcut to reopen any tabs you’ve closed, in the order that you closed them.
