Keyboard Shortcuts

The Keyboard shortcuts settings let you control Telebugs’ keyboard access and customize key bindings for your account.

To open them, click your profile icon in the top-right, select your identity block, then select Keyboard shortcuts from the settings sidebar. On a small screen, use the Settings section selector.

Favorite commands have their own Command palette settings page. Existing /settings/accessibility links open Keyboard shortcuts.

General Keyboard Access

Press Tab after a page loads to reveal Skip to main content. Activating it moves focus past the repeated navigation and into the page content.

Telebugs shows a visible focus indicator on links, buttons, fields, switches, menus, and other interactive controls. Dialogs and mobile sheets move focus to a useful control when they open, close with Escape, keep focus inside while open, and return focus to the control that opened them.

Status and timestamp details that appear on pointer hover are also available by focusing or activating their labelled buttons. Press Escape to close an open detail popover.

Character-Key Shortcuts

Character-key shortcuts are enabled by default. They provide fast navigation and error-group actions on these pages:

• All Errors
• The error list on an individual project page
• All Reports
• The report list within an error group
• Individual report pages
• The Details, Reports, and Notes tabs of an error group

To disable or re-enable them:

1. Open Account Settings → Keyboard shortcuts.
2. Turn Character-key shortcuts off or on.

The change saves automatically. A green tick immediately beside the switch confirms the save. A failed save shows an error and a Retry action in the same card. Your shortcut assignments remain editable when this switch is off.

Disabling this setting turns off the printable J, K, O, X, P, N, U, R, M, A, and ? shortcuts, together with the G navigation sequences. Native Tab and Enter behavior remains available. You can also focus a list with Tab and use the arrow keys to move through it.

Modifier-based shortcuts remain available when character-key shortcuts are disabled. This includes the default Command + K or Control + K command-palette shortcut and any character command that you remap to a modifier chord.

Default Shortcut Reference

Keys joined by a plus sign are pressed together. Keys separated by then are pressed in order.

You can open the shortcut reference by pressing ? when character-key shortcuts are enabled. It is always available by selecting Search in the navigation bar and choosing Keyboard shortcuts from the command palette. The Search control displays the current command-palette shortcut, and Keyboard shortcuts appears in the initial suggestions so you do not need to search for it.

Customizing Shortcuts

Open Account Settings → Keyboard shortcuts. Use Find shortcut to search command names, groups, or the displayed key bindings. Search is beside the page title on desktop and below it on smaller screens, and stays available as you scroll. Clearing the search restores the complete list. Filtering does not change any assignments.

Each command shows its current assignment:

1. Select the labelled edit button beside the command.
2. Press the new key, chord, or two-key sequence.

The edit button remains in place while the current key changes to Press keys…. The assignment saves automatically after you finish recording, and Telebugs shows a green tick beside the title without reloading the page. Press Escape or move focus away to cancel without changing the assignment.

Direct commands accept one printable key or a portable chord containing Command on macOS or Control on other platforms. A chord can also include Option/Alt or Shift. Navigation sequences contain exactly two printable keys without modifiers. Telebugs uses the character produced by your keyboard layout rather than the physical key position.

Telebugs does not allow Tab, the arrow keys, Enter, or Escape to be remapped. These native alternatives remain available even if you clear the corresponding character shortcut. Browser and operating-system shortcuts such as Command + L or Control + L, reload, closing a tab, and restoring a tab are also reserved.

Each direct assignment and complete sequence must be unique. A sequence’s first key cannot also be assigned as a direct character shortcut. If a new assignment conflicts with another command, Telebugs names the conflicting command and keeps the existing assignments unchanged.

Use the labelled clear icon to leave one command unassigned, or the reset icon to restore that command’s default. Restore defaults resets every assignment after confirmation, including assignments hidden by a search, and keeps your favorite commands. Conflicts are checked against every assignment, including filtered-out rows. These changes also save automatically.

Command Palette

The palette searches commands, projects, and applications. Open it with Search in the header, Command + K on macOS, or Control + K on other platforms. See Command palette for navigation, keyboard behavior, and preferences.

The bindings for opening the palette remain on the Keyboard shortcuts settings page with the other key bindings.

Favorites and Recent Commands

Manage favorites on Account Settings → Command palette or with the star beside an active command in the palette. See Favorites and recent commands.

Global Navigation Sequences

Press G, then P, E, R, or S to navigate globally. A small Go to reference appears after G and lists the valid second keys. The sequence cancels after three seconds, when you press Escape, or when you press an unrecognized second key. It never falls through and activates another single-key command.

How List Navigation Works

The list highlight is a cursor, not a selection. Moving with J, K, or the arrow keys does not select an error or change any data. Use X separately when you want to add or remove an error from the bulk selection.

Forward movement starts at the first visible item. Backward movement starts at the last visible item. Navigation stops at the first or last item on the current page and does not automatically change pages.

Telebugs remembers the highlighted item when possible. Returning with the browser’s Back button, using U from an individual report, or updating a list with search or filters can restore the highlight if that item is still visible. On responsive pages, only the visible desktop or mobile version of an item participates in navigation.

Navigating Occurrences

On an individual report page, use P and N to move through occurrences of the same error. Navigation stops at the first or last occurrence and never wraps.

When you open a report from a filtered error-group Reports list, P and N follow that list’s date range, search, and ascending or descending order across the complete filtered result, not only the current page. The counter and visible previous and next controls use the same ordering. Direct links and reports opened from other lists use all occurrences in chronological order.

Use U to return to the originating list. For a report opened in the same tab, Telebugs restores the exact list URL, filters, pagination, scroll position, and keyboard cursor when one was visible. A report opened with the pointer returns without adding a row highlight.

For a direct, shared, or new-tab report, U falls back to the error group’s Reports list. It preserves a valid occurrence filter when available; otherwise, it opens the day containing the current occurrence.

Error-Group Actions

The R, M, and A shortcuts work on the Details, Reports, and Notes tabs:

• R uses the current Resolve or Unresolve action.
• M opens the existing mute choices when the error is unmuted. Muting still requires you to choose a duration or occurrence threshold. When the error is muted or snoozed, M immediately uses Unmute or Unsnooze.
• A uses Own it or Unclaim for your account. It is unavailable when another person owns the error because Telebugs does not currently support reassignment.

These actions use the same visible controls as pointer and touch interaction. They are ignored while an earlier action is still being processed.

The same actions appear in the command palette when they are available. When errors are selected on an error list, the palette also exposes applicable resolve, unresolve, mute, unmute, and merge actions with the selected count. Merge retains its existing confirmation.

Charts and Data Tables

Charts include a View chart data control. Open it to read the chart as a table with time labels, current values, comparison values when present, and links to applicable releases. This table is the nonvisual and keyboard alternative to inspecting points on the canvas.

Small decorative trend charts are skipped by screen readers when the same change is already written next to them.

Notes and File Attachments

The note attachment control works with a file picker as well as drag and drop. After you choose files, Telebugs announces the updated file count. Each queued file has a labelled removal button, and removing a file returns focus to the next file, the previous file, or the attachment control.

Upload progress, successful note creation, and validation failures are exposed as status or alert messages without moving focus unexpectedly.

Display Preferences

Telebugs respects the operating system’s reduced-motion preference and keeps controls and focus indicators distinguishable in forced-colors modes. Browser zoom and text-size controls can be used without changing the keyboard shortcuts described here.

When Shortcuts Are Paused

Shortcuts do not activate while you are:

• Typing in an input, text area, or editable region
• Using a select control
• Interacting with an open dialog or menu
• Composing text with an input method editor
• Holding an unsupported modifier combination

The layout-generated Shift needed to type a printable character is allowed. Unassigned modifier combinations are left to the browser and operating system. Held keys do not repeatedly open pages, show help, or submit actions. List movement may repeat so you can move through a list efficiently.
