Keyboard shortcuts

Learn how to use keyboard shortcuts to navigate between modules, create and edit entities, and execute test runs faster across Test Management.

Keyboard shortcuts reduce the need to switch between your keyboard and mouse during high-frequency actions. Test Management displays shortcut hints on buttons, tooltips, and dropdown menus throughout the interface, so you can learn shortcuts progressively as you work.

View all available shortcuts

Press ? or Shift + / from any page to open the keyboard shortcuts help window. This window displays a categorized list of every shortcut available in the product.

You can also disable keyboard shortcuts across the product from this window.

Create and edit entities

These shortcuts adapt to your current context. On the Test Cases page, C opens the Create Test Case window. On the Test Runs page, C opens the Create Test Run window.

The E shortcut also shows as a highlighted hint in dropdown menus across all table rows. When you press E with a single item in focus, the edit window opens for that item. Editable entities include folders, test cases, shared steps, datasets, test runs, and test plans.

Mark test results during execution

When you open a test case from a test run detail page, single-key shortcuts let you mark results without reaching for your mouse. After you apply a result, focus moves automatically to the next test case or step.

These shortcuts are active only in the test run execution view. Pressing these keys outside the execution view has no effect.

Add steps while authoring test cases

When the Create Test Case or Edit Test Case window is open, use these shortcuts to add steps without leaving the keyboard. These shortcuts work even when focus is inside a rich text editor.

Perform bulk actions on test cases

When you select multiple test cases in list view, use these shortcuts to start bulk operations.

Shortcut behavior in input fields

Single-key shortcuts such as C, E, P, and F do not activate when your cursor is inside an input field, search bar, or text area. This prevents shortcuts from interfering with typing.

Two exceptions apply:

• Esc works everywhere to close windows and panels.
• Combination shortcuts such as Cmd/Ctrl + Enter and Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + S work even when focus is inside an input field. This matches standard rich text editor behavior.
