# Keyboard shortcuts

> Move through Budget Bandit without the mouse — the command palette, navigation chords, and per-page shortcuts.

Budget Bandit is built to run from the keyboard. Press **?** anywhere to see the full list in
the app at any time. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever this page shows ⌘.

## The command palette

Press **⌘S** to open the command palette. From there you can search everything, jump to any
page, and type plain-language commands like "move \$50 from dining to groceries." It is the
fastest way to get anywhere.

## Navigation

Use "G then a letter" to jump between the main pages. Press G, release it, then press the
second key.

| Shortcut | Goes to      |
| -------- | ------------ |
| G then B | Budget       |
| G then A | Accounts     |
| G then T | Transactions |
| G then I | Import       |
| G then R | Reports      |
| G then S | Settings     |

## Global

These work from anywhere in the app.

| ←        | Previous month                        |
| →        | Next month                            |

## On the Transactions page

| Shortcut | Action                               |
| -------- | ------------------------------------ |
| ⌘↵       | Save the transaction you are editing |
| Esc      | Cancel the edit                      |

<Note>
  Shortcuts pause while you are typing in a field, so they never get in the way of entering a
  payee or amount.
