New to Bitbucket Cloud? Check out our get started guides for new users.
Bitbucket Cloud comes with keyboard shortcuts you can use to quickly access pages and features. Most shortcuts are a combination of keys – you press one key and then the next key in sequence.
To view a list of keyboard shortcuts for your current page: Press ? (question mark) on your keyboard.
To disable or enable keyboard shortcuts: Select the Settings cog on the top navigation bar > select Personal Bitbucket settings. Check or uncheck the Enable keyboard shortcuts checkbox to enable or disable keyboard shortcuts.
The following table includes the keyboard shortcuts available in Bitbucket. To get a better idea of what shortcuts are available for each page, press the ? key in Bitbucket.
When you see a shortcut with a capital letter, you must first enter the CAPS LOCK to use that shortcut. SHIFT and the letter won't work.
