GitLab keyboard shortcuts (FREE)

GitLab has several keyboard shortcuts you can use to access its different features.

To display a window in GitLab that lists its keyboard shortcuts, use one of the following methods:

• Press ?.
• In the Help menu in the top right of the application, select Keyboard shortcuts.

In GitLab 12.8 and later, you can disable keyboard shortcuts by using the Keyboard shortcuts toggle at the top of the keyboard shortcut window.

Although global shortcuts work from any area of GitLab, you must be in specific pages for the other shortcuts to be available, as explained in each section.
