Keyboard Shortcuts in Wise Owl Legal
To facilitate the fastest data entry, a variety of keyboard shortcuts are provided throughout Wise Owl Legal.
As much as possible, we try not to interfere with your default web browser's keyboard shortcuts.
A printable reference card is also available. TODO: make the reference card.
Guide to Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts come in two forms: key combinations and key sequences.
Some examples of combinations:
Ctrl+S
- Control and 's' togetherAlt+Shift+R
- Alt, Shift and 'r' all together
Some examples of key sequences:
a, b
= 'a' then 'b'Ctrl+K, t
= Control and 'k' together, then 't'
On Macintosh computers, the Ctrl key is the same as the Command key.
If you are using a tablet device such as an iPad, the keyboard shortcuts work as normal, but you will require a Bluetooth keyboard for them to be practical. (TODO: confirm this actually works)
