The Most Important Shortcuts at a Glance
- save
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.
- check_circle
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.
- search
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.
