Keyboard Shortcuts
Work the CRM without the mouse: move through a list, peek a lead, change a status, and go anywhere with G.
Fondaro is built so a full day of lead work can happen from the keyboard. Single
keys do the things you do fifty times a day, G then a letter takes you
somewhere, and modifiers are reserved for the handful of shortcuts that work
from anywhere.
Press ? at any time to see the shortcuts that are live on the screen you are
on. Anything that screen cannot do is dimmed rather than hidden, so the sheet is
always the truth about where you are.
Every shortcut is also a command in the command palette (⌘K / Ctrl K), and
every menu item and button that owns a key prints it, so you never have to
memorise this page.
Typing always wins. In any text box, in the document editor and in the Ask composer, letters are just letters. The single-letter shortcuts below stand down until you leave the field.
Anywhere
| Keys | What it does |
|---|---|
⌘K / Ctrl K | Open the command palette |
⌘B / Ctrl B | Show or hide the sidebar |
⌘⇧M / Ctrl Shift M | Open or close Messages beside the page |
⌘. / Ctrl . | Open or close Ask |
? | Open the keyboard shortcuts sheet |
/ | Put the cursor in the current view's search |
C | Create what this page creates |
We use ⌘. / Ctrl . for Ask rather than ⌘J / Ctrl J. Ctrl J is the
Downloads shortcut in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Windows and Linux, and a web
page can only take it back while it has the keyboard, so it would work most of
the time and open Downloads the rest. . is not spoken for in any browser we
support.
/ and C belong to the page you are on, so they work where that page has a
search box or something to create. On Deals, /
jumps to the deal search and C opens New deal.
Going places
Press G, let go, then press the second key. You have one second.
| Keys | Where it goes |
|---|---|
G H | Home |
G L | The first Leads view in your sidebar |
G A | All leads |
G D | Deals |
G C | Calls |
G T | Tasks |
G M | Messages |
G P | Properties |
G R | Reports |
G S | Organisation settings |
G 1 to G 9 | The first to ninth Leads view in your sidebar |
G 1 to G 9 follow your sidebar. If you have reordered or renamed
your lead views, the numbers follow what you see, top to bottom.
G D and D do not collide. While G is waiting for its second key, that
key can only finish a G shortcut, so G D is always Deals. Pressed on its
own, D calls the lead you are on.
In a list
These work on any lead list: a status page, Unassigned, and the lead lists inside a saved view.
| Keys | What it does |
|---|---|
J / K, ↓ / ↑ | Move down and up the rows |
Enter | Open the lead's full page |
Space | Peek the lead beside the list |
X | Select or deselect the row |
⇧J / ⇧K | Extend the selection down or up |
⌘A / Ctrl A | Select every row on this page |
Esc | Clear the selection |
S | Change status |
A | Assign |
L | Edit tags |
D | Call the lead from your browser |
⌘⌫ / Ctrl Backspace | Delete, through the usual confirmation |
[ / ] | Previous and next page |
S and A apply to your whole selection when you have one, and to the row you
are on when you do not. L always edits the tags on the row you are on, because
tags are changed one lead at a time.
D opens the calling panel in your browser and dials from there. Fondaro AI
never places calls. See Calling.
Space and Enter step aside when the cursor is already on a checkbox or a
button inside the row, so those keys keep pressing what you have focused.
While a power dial run is in progress the list shortcuts are switched off, so a stray key cannot change a status in the middle of a conversation.
The Calls and Tasks
lists answer J, K, Enter and [ / ]. Enter there opens the lead behind
the call or the task.
In a peek, and on a lead page
| Keys | What it does |
|---|---|
J / K | Next and previous lead |
Enter | Open the full page (from a peek) |
Esc | Close the peek, or go back to the list |
S | Change status |
A | Assign |
L | Edit tags |
N | Add a note |
T | Add a task |
E | Write an email |
D | Call from your browser |
⌘⇧C / Ctrl Shift C | Copy the phone number |
J and K walk the whole filtered list, not just the page the lead was opened
from, and Fondaro loads the next page as you approach the end of it.
The same keys work in every pane that opens beside a list: a property from the
listings grid or the map, a brochure from the brochures table, and a document
from the sidebar (Enter opens it in full, Esc closes it). On a property
grid, J / K move between the cards and Space opens the focused one.
Coming back with Esc restores where you were: the page, the scroll position,
the row you were on and anything you had selected.
N, T, E and D follow whether the lead can do them. A lead with no email
address, or a workspace that has not
set up sending, has no E, and the sheet dims it.
On a board
The All leads board and the Deals board share these.
| Keys | What it does |
|---|---|
J / K, ↓ / ↑ | Move between cards in a column |
← / → | Move between columns |
Space | Peek the lead |
Enter | Open (the lead's page, or the deal) |
M | Move to another column |
S / A | Change status, assign (All leads) |
M is the keyboard version of dragging a card. It offers the same columns a
drag would accept, and a move it would refuse is refused here too with the same
explanation.
There is no H / L pair for moving left and right, because L is tags
everywhere else and one letter should not mean two things.
Triage without the mouse
