Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut in the SiteCMD desktop app, in one place.
SiteCMD ships a handful of keyboard shortcuts for the actions you’ll do often. All shortcuts use ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl on Windows / Linux. Where this page writes Mod, that means whichever applies to your OS.
Navigation
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mod + 1 | Go to Dashboard |
| Mod + 2 | Go to Events |
| Mod + 3 | Go to Analytics |
| Mod + 4 | Go to Search Console |
| Mod + 5 | Go to Issues |
| Mod + 6 | Go to Deploys |
| Mod + 7 | Go to Updates |
| Mod + , | Open Settings |
Navigation shortcuts don’t fire while you’re typing in an input, textarea, or select.
Common actions
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mod + K | Open the command palette |
| Mod + N | Add a new project |
| Mod + R | Run a scan (when you’re on Dashboard or Issues) |
Global shortcuts
These work even when SiteCMD isn’t the focused window, as long as the app is running. Useful when you’ve minimized or hidden the app and want to trigger something without alt-tabbing back.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mod + Shift + S | Open SiteCMD and start configuring a scan |
| Mod + Shift + H | Show / focus the SiteCMD window |
Global shortcuts are registered by SiteCMD with your OS. If another app is already using one of these combinations, SiteCMD won’t override it; you’ll still get the navigation/common shortcuts when the app has focus.
The command palette
The command palette (Mod + K) is the fastest way to do anything in SiteCMD. It searches:
- Pages (everything in the navigation)
- Projects (jump to a specific project)
- Recent issues
- Settings sections
- Actions (“Run scan”, “Add project”, etc.)
If you don’t remember a shortcut, you can almost always find it by name in the palette.
What’s not bound
Some actions you might expect a shortcut for that don’t have one yet:
- Snooze / dismiss / verify on an issue (no shortcut; use the row buttons or detail view)
- Compare scans (no shortcut; available from history rows)
- Toggle theme (no shortcut; available in Settings → Appearance)
If you’d like a specific shortcut added, file a feature request from the Contact page.
Why the shortcut set is small
A long list of shortcuts looks impressive but mostly goes unused. SiteCMD’s set is intentionally small: the actions you’ll do dozens of times a day are bound, everything else lives in the command palette. If you find yourself wanting another shortcut, that’s good signal; let us know.
