Keyboard shortcuts

Press ? anywhere in the editor to see the current list without leaving the page. That list is generated from the editor itself, so it is always right — this page is a reference for reading outside the app.

Editing

Either modifier works on either platform — Ctrl is accepted on a Mac and ⌘ on Windows — so a chord learned on one machine keeps working on the other.

Selection

Select several widgets by dragging a box around them, or holding Shift as you click. Copy, cut, duplicate and delete all act on the whole selection, and a group always acts as one — deleting any member deletes the group.

Elsewhere

Ctrl + K (⌘ + K) focuses the search box in the documentation.

When shortcuts are ignored

They are deliberately inert while you are typing, so a chord never eats your text:

• in any input, text area or editable field
• while a dialog or a menu is open

This is why pressing Delete with a widget selected removes it, but pressing Delete while renaming a page just deletes a character.

Copying between dashboards

The clipboard is ChartBase's own, not the operating system's, so a copied widget keeps its full configuration — fields, formatting, filters. It survives moving to another page, and to another dashboard in the same browser. It does not travel to another person or another browser.
