Keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet

Updated May 2026

You'll learn how to: Drive Nynch faster with keyboard shortcuts that work on the Contacts / Companies / Deals tables and the inbox.

Time: 5 minutes to memorise the four that matter most.

Tables (Contacts, Companies, Deals)

Key What it does
/ Focus the search bar
N Open the New <Entity> dialog (New Contact, New Company, New Opportunity)
F Open the Filter tab of the View Options popover
S Open the Sort tab of the View Options popover

These four are the daily-use shortcuts. Most people learn them by week two.

Behaviour rules

  • Shortcuts only fire when focus is NOT inside an editable element (input, textarea, contenteditable). If you're typing in a field, the keys go to the field as expected.
  • Cmd/Ctrl/Alt are ignored, so the shortcuts don't conflict with browser shortcuts like Cmd+N (open new browser window).
  • Lowercase and uppercase both work for letter shortcuts.

Inbox

The unified inbox supports the usual email shortcuts:

Key What it does
J / K Next / previous message
R Reply to focused message
E Archive focused message
Esc Close the open message and return to the inbox list

The exact set may vary by inbox provider. Check the inbox more-actions menu for a complete reference.

Modal and dialog

Key What it does
Esc Close the current modal / dialog / detail overlay
Enter Submit the form / accept default action when focus is on the primary button

Bucket Game

The Bucket Game is mouse-first (designed for the satisfying click-to-assign rhythm), but the speaker toggle is a button you can tab to and activate with Enter / Space.

What's NOT shortcutted

Common requests we deliberately don't have shortcuts for:

  • No global "open contact by name" command bar. Use search (/ on the Contacts table) instead.
  • No bulk-select hotkey. Tick checkboxes manually; the bulk toolbar appears at 1 selected.
  • No "save current view" shortcut. Use the View Manager dropdown.

Tips

  • Practise /N on the Contacts table. It's the fastest path from "I need to capture a lead" to "I'm filling in the contact form".
  • F and S open the right tab. No need to remember which tab is Filter or Sort. The popover opens already on the right one.
  • Cheat sheet poster. Print this article and stick it next to your monitor for week one. By week two you won't need it.

If something goes wrong

  • Symptom: "Shortcut doesn't fire." → Fix: Check that focus isn't in an input. Click somewhere blank on the page first, then try the shortcut.
  • Symptom: "N opens the wrong New dialog." → Fix: Shortcuts are entity-aware. If the toggle is on People, N opens New Contact. Switch to Companies and N opens New Company.
  • Symptom: "Shortcuts don't work at all on this page." → Fix: Some surfaces (Today, Coaching, Settings) don't have these shortcuts. The contacts / deals tables are the main place they apply.
