Keyboard shortcuts
The keyboard shortcuts in Ordinary — press f to open search, move through results with the arrow keys, and close menus and pickers with Esc.
Written by The Ordinary Team · Updated On this page
Ordinary keeps its keyboard shortcuts small and predictable. Single-key shortcuts never fire while you’re typing in a field, and Cmd/Ctrl combinations are left to your browser.
Open search
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
f | Open the search palette from any page |
You can also click the search box in the top bar. Type at least two characters to search across:
- Pages — jump to any page in the app.
- Actions — for example, Create experiment.
- Orders, Customers, Products and Experiments.
- Saved reports.
Before you type, the palette suggests a handful of pages under Jump to, plus the available actions.
Inside the search palette
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
↓ / ↑ | Move to the next / previous result |
Home / End | Jump to the first / last result |
Enter | Open the highlighted result |
Esc | Close the palette |
On specific pages
| Where | Key | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Settings → Integrations | / | Jump to the integrations search box |
| Date range picker | Esc | Close the picker without applying changes |
Closing things
Esc closes dialogs, menus, image previews and the help widget, as
well as the search palette and date range picker.
Your browser’s own shortcuts
Ordinary doesn’t override Cmd/Ctrl shortcuts, so your browser’s
built-ins work as usual — Cmd/Ctrl + F to find text on the page,
Cmd/Ctrl + C to copy a selection, and so on.
