You can see a modal listing keyboard shortcuts within GitLab itself by pressing <kbd>?</kbd>, or clicking **Keyboard shortcuts** in the Help menu at the top right. In [GitLab 12.8 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22113), keyboard shortcuts can be disabled using the **Enable**/**Disable** toggle in this modal window. The [Global Shortcuts](#global-shortcuts) work from any area of GitLab, but you must be in specific pages for the other shortcuts to be available, as explained in each section below. ## Global Shortcuts These shortcuts are available in most areas of GitLab | Keyboard Shortcut | Description | | ------------------------------- | ----------- | | <kbd>?</kbd> | Show/hide shortcut reference sheet. | | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>p</kbd> | Go to your Projects page. | | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>g</kbd> | Go to your Groups page. | | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>a</kbd> | Go to your Activity page. | | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>l</kbd> | Go to your Milestones page. | | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>s</kbd> | Go to your Snippets page. | | <kbd>s</kbd> | Put cursor in the issues/merge requests search. | | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>i</kbd> | Go to your Issues page. | | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>m</kbd> | Go to your Merge requests page.| | <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>t</kbd> | Go to your To-Do List page. | | <kbd>p</kbd> + <kbd>b</kbd> | Show/hide the Performance Bar. | Additionally, the following shortcuts are available when editing text in text fields, for example comments, replies, issue descriptions, and merge request descriptions: | Keyboard Shortcut | Description | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | <kbd>↑</kbd> | Edit your last comment.
