# Keyboard Shortcuts

> Navigate Ankra faster with keyboard shortcuts

<Note>
  Ankra is designed for keyboard-first navigation. Press `⌘+Enter` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Enter` (Windows/Linux) anywhere to view all shortcuts.
</Note>

## Global Shortcuts

These shortcuts work from anywhere in Ankra:

| Action                  | Mac         | Windows/Linux      |
| ----------------------- | ----------- | ------------------ |
| Open Command Palette    | `⌘ + K`     | `Ctrl + K`         |
| View Keyboard Shortcuts | `⌘ + Enter` | `Ctrl + Enter`     |
| Toggle AI Panel         | `⌘ + J`     | `Ctrl + J`         |
| Toggle AI Fullscreen    | `⇧ + ⌘ + J` | `Shift + Ctrl + J` |
| New AI Chat             | `⇧ + ⌘ + O` | `Shift + Ctrl + O` |
| Collapse Sidebar        | `⌘ + B`     | `Ctrl + B`         |
| Hide Sidebar            | `⇧ + ⌘ + B` | `Shift + Ctrl + B` |
| Close Dialog/Palette    | `Esc`       | `Esc`              |

## Command Palette Navigation

When the command palette is open (`⌘+K` / `Ctrl+K`):

| Action        | Shortcut |
| ------------- | -------- |
| Navigate Up   | `↑`      |
| Navigate Down | `↓`      |
| Select Item   | `Enter`  |
| Close Palette | `Esc`    |

<Tip>
  The command palette uses fuzzy search. Type "dep" to find "Deployments" or "sts" for "StatefulSets".
</Tip>

## Tab Navigation

Pages with multiple tabs support keyboard navigation using the first letter of each tab name.

### Alerts Page

| Action                     | Shortcut |
| -------------------------- | -------- |
| Switch to Alerts tab       | `A`      |
| Switch to AI Incidents tab | `I`      |

### Resource Detail Pages

Most detail pages (pods, deployments, services, etc.) support tab shortcuts:

| Action       | Shortcut |
| ------------ | -------- |
| Overview tab | `O`      |
| Events tab   | `E`      |
| Logs tab     | `L`      |
| YAML tab     | `Y`      |

## Tips for Keyboard Navigation

<Tip>
  **Learn the Command Palette first:** `⌘+K` / `Ctrl+K` is your gateway to navigating anywhere in Ankra without touching the mouse.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Use tab shortcuts on detail pages:** When viewing a pod, deployment, or other resource, press the first letter of the tab you want to switch to.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Keep AI handy:** `⌘+J` / `Ctrl+J` instantly opens the AI assistant for troubleshooting help without leaving your current context.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Chain shortcuts:** Open command palette (`⌘+K`), navigate to a cluster, then use it again to jump to specific resources, all without clicking.
</Tip>
