The Most Important Shortcuts at a Glance

Save: Cmd + S on Mac or Ctrl + S on Windows/Linux saves a record directly. This is especially handy when editing longer texts or making several changes in a row.
Save and close: Cmd + Shift + S on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + S on Windows/Linux saves the record and then closes the edit form. This gets you back to the previous view faster and saves you an extra click.
Backend search: Cmd + K on Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows/Linux opens the backend search, i.e. the TYPO3 command dialog. There you can quickly search for pages, modules or functions without clicking through the backend menu.

Especially for editors who work with TYPO3 daily, these small key combinations save a lot of time and make working in the backend noticeably more pleasant.
