Keyboard Shortcuts

Effortlessly navigate through BlockWallet using keyboard shortcuts and execute actions on specific screens with simple key combinations to enhance your BlockWallet experience.

How do keyboard shortcuts work?

Keyboard shortcuts are switched on by default.

You can turn them off and back on in Settings - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts.

When turned on, you can use a combination of keys to speed up the process when using your BlockWallet account (see full list below).

Quickly turn Keyboard Shortcuts ON/OFF

ALT+K on Windows or OPT+K on Mac is the only combination you need to know.

If Keyboard shortcuts are OFF and you press this combination, you will get easy access to the setting so you can turn it back ON.

If Keyboard Shortcuts are ON and you press this combination, you will see all the relevant shortcuts for the current screen.

Opening the BlockWallet Extension

If you want to open your BlockWallet extension you can use the combination of ALT/OPT+O whenever you are browsing and BlockWallet will pop up.

As previously mentioned, ALT/OPT+K functions on any screen, even when shortcuts are disabled. When shortcuts are enabled, three additional key combinations will also work on any screen.

These are the 4 global keyboard shortcuts that you should know about.
